Both should work fine for your setup. If you want to go to 6.X you should go to 5.5 first. Read /usr/src/UPDATING in all cases. -Derek At 09:44 AM 4/2/2007, Jean-Paul Natola wrote: Hi everyone, I'm think I really need to upgrade from 5.4 as I'm having a slew of issues with my programs- specifically exim-sa-clamav- My concern is that this was the only BSD install I had ever done with assistance from a colleague from across the border- So all I have been doing for the past year is cvsup-ing and portupgrading- however as mentioned earlier I'm running into issues that are consuming too much time for me to resolve as I am a one man IT department here. The first thing I'd like to know is if my box can indeed handle the upgrade to 6.2 - I have the following hardware- PIII 500mhz 256 ram 8 gig hard-drive The ONLY thing I use this box for is to filter mail that then gets passed to my exchange server- Are there any gotcha's I need to lookout for before attempting this upgrade, since this filters my e-mail if I screw up- I will have no incoming mail- lest I choose to redirect my SMTP directly to my mail server- NOT A GOOD IDEA. So I see there are two methods of upgrading - sysinstall or makeworld- what would be the optimal choice for someone with limited experience in the BSD world- Thanks Jean-Paul Natola Network Administrator Information Technology Family Care International 588 Broadway Suite 503 New York, NY 10012 Phone:212-941-5300 xt 36 Fax: 212-941-5563 Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
