Why not installing FreeBSD 7 on a spare server or a workstation ? You can build your own packages, rsync your confs and test. When everything work, delete all packages on the old server. Make a freebsd-upgrade install. Install all your previously builded packages and put your confs back. The down time should not be too long I gess ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
