Hi all, I'm interested in adopting/devising one of the "clean install" upgrade methods. By this I mean when a new version of FreeBSD comes out, you 1. copy all your data and configuration files from the machine you want to upgrade to another machine on the network 2. do clean install deleting everything on the machine being upgraded 3. move the data and configuration files back over to the original machine with the newly upgraded OS I know some of you do this and I really want to adopt one of these methods. I have some who do it using CVS, other who do with a combination of scp, find and md5. My question is how do YOU do it and what is the best (most easily automated/safe) method? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like to receive faxes to your personal email address?
