It's nice guide, but I personally think there few important thing stat are missing (and I was trying to found answer, but without luck): - what directories, should be especially backed up and restored after upgrade, I know /etc /usr/local/etc, /var/mail /var/cron /var/db what else? - how to upgrade config files while while doing source upgrade, is it possible to use mergemaster, what are recommended steps? Overwrite all the new files and run mergemaster or there is better way? - some other stuff that I just forgot Basically I would like make the migration flawlessly, and in shortest time possible. -- Best regards, Dariusz mailto:takeda@takeda.tk http://www.takeda.tk
