no thanks. too much of a mess, and very little on the system that i really need. it's just that it is remote. but i'll visit and install perhaps the section labeled "To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable to current" should be edited or removed from /usr/src/UPDATING. :) thanks all randy _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
