I just reinstalled a server that was out for repair. It's on the network in the data center, but no applications are running on it, yet. I thought this would be a perfect time to upgrade the OS. It's currently running 6.2 Release, I want to bring it up to 7.2 Release. I'd like to do this remotely, if possible, since going to the data center is a pain. I've been reading the upgrade chapter in "Absolute FreeBSD", and it seems like the best option is to download the source files for 7.2 and upgrade from sources. >>> Sanity check: Am I on the right track? I've never done a major upgrade remotely, but I guess the worst that can happen is I have to burn a CD and drive into the data center. Any thoughts, much appreciated. -- John
