Hmm my timing for this topic seems right on :)
Since I ran out of disk space trying to update to -stable this afternoon
(now that's another topic for another day "Why so much space to keep up
with -stable, when /stand/sysinstall can do an inplace update ?")
So should a throw another drive in this thing and go -stable or not ?
What does MFC'd mean ?
Perhaps a summary of each of your thoughts would help me ?
Thanks, I really appreaciate all the help.
Regards, John.
