It depends on how many changes happen between the releases. Have you tried taking 7.x to 9.x before? You'll have to deal with that editor for merging many, many files. Maybe nearly everything in /etc. It's quite time consuming, whereas I can get mergemaster to auto-merge all of those files and only show me the 5 that I've personally touched. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
