Make sure you rebuild world as well as the kernel, as some utils have changed (eg, GELI is not compatible between 6.1-p6 and 6.2 mismatches of kernel + world). On my 6.2 to 6.1 trip, I had to rebuild some libraries from ports as they were crashing (can't remember which ones now, sorry). Overall, pretty painless experience. _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know."
