I've build and exported RELENG_7_0 into an i386 jail running on amd64 hardw= are=2C then I mounted sources and binaries on a RELENG_6_4/i386 machine and I have been a= ble to successfully upgrade without any trouble!! (only some warnings were display= ed installing the kernel=2C but that's a correct behaviour of the upgrade procedure=2C as= pointed out in this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-November/0579= 63.html) Thank you so much=2C Christian! I'm thinking that it would be a great thing to prepare some materials expla= ining the methods for maintaining a managed FreeBSD infrastructure in a corporate production = environment. A lot of sysadmins are afraid that they'll have to spend so much time in soft= ware management tasks if they put FreeBSD in production for business applications=2C but it= seems that only a little of knowledge is required to manage such and environment obtaining a good TC= O. At present time I'm too much engaged with a lot of projects to be able to p= roduce any docs=2C but I'll surely advocate FreeBSD in such business scenarios! _________________________________________________________________ More than messages=96check out the rest of the Windows Live=99. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/=
