Possible: Yes. Recommended: Absolutely not! You will almost certainly have to do it in several steps. The sequence 3.2 -> 3.5.1 3.5.1 -> 4.1 4.1 -> 4.11 4.11 -> 5.3 *should* work, but no guarantees. Remember to read /usr/src/UPDATING very carefully before each step - most problems that you *will* encounter are documented there. The sequence backup all data make a fresh install of 5.3 restore data from backup will almost certainly be quicker, simpler, and less prone to catastrophic failure. (Making a backup of all important data is a *very* good idea anyway.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
