Hi everyone, I'm think I really need to upgrade from 5.4 as I'm having a slew of = issues with my programs- specifically exim-sa-clamav-=20 My concern is that this was the only BSD install I had ever done with assistance from a colleague from across the border- So all I have been = doing for the past year is cvsup-ing and portupgrading- however as mentioned earlier I'm running into issues that are consuming too much time for me = to resolve as I am a one man IT department here. The first thing I'd like to know is if my box can indeed handle the = upgrade to 6.2 - I have the following hardware- PIII 500mhz 256 ram 8 gig hard-drive The ONLY thing I use this box for is to filter mail that then gets = passed to my exchange server- Are there any gotcha's I need to lookout for before attempting this = upgrade, since this filters my e-mail if I screw up- I will have no incoming = mail- lest I choose to redirect my SMTP directly to my mail server- NOT A GOOD IDEA. So I see there are two methods of upgrading - sysinstall or makeworld- = what would be the optimal choice for someone with limited experience in the = BSD world- Thanks=20 Jean-Paul Natola Network Administrator Information Technology Family Care International 588 Broadway Suite 503 New York, NY 10012 Phone:212-941-5300 xt 36 Fax: 212-941-5563 Mailto: Jnatola@Familycareintl.org
