As I considering giving up on upgrading a box from 3.4 Stable to 4.X I wonder why can't upgrades be made more gradual for those of us following stable? Of 3 boxes I chose to bite the bullet on two and save my data and install 4 from scratch. For the only box that I decided to try and upgrade it has been very treacherous. Sure many people have done it successfully, but for those of us that have failed after having followed carefully /usr/src/UPDATING this is very discouraging. As I am on the verge of convincing my boss to use FreeBSD at work I feel that the current upgrade paths for those following stable need be simpler. I wonder if I want to put myself on a position where I would be responsible for having to upgrade a whole set of computers with such difficult upgrade paths. Must it be this way forever? Are BSDI upgrades any better? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
