I just did that upgrade (been with freebsd since 1.1!) and everything seems pretty smooth. I did a 2.2->3.1 upgrade on another machine so I'm probably glossing over some aout issues (mainly that you have to find them and move them into a separate directory).
One thing that confused me for several days and I just figured out: sysctl moved from /usr/sbin to /sbin. I have /usr/sbin in my path first, so I was getting to old one. It almost works, but not quite. It only displays about 15 `kern.' variables and then quits. Perhaps the upgrade option should at least warn of that possibility (maybe obvious, but somewhat unexpected) or even include a list of files that once existed in FreeBSD but no longer do (to facilitate removing them). I'm thinking about digging out a 2.2.x install cd to build that list for myself. --Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to [email protected] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
