Hi all,
I have had complete success with upgrading 6.0 to 6.1rc1 and finally, 6.1
RELEASE.
Sorry about asking a question that I am sure has been asked once befor ....
Can I upgrade a 4.4, 4.7, 4.10, 5.2.1 boxes the same way using CVSup i.e
directly from one of those to 6.1R?
Some of those, in fact, *most*, are a pretty big jump. Also,
IIRC, all ports needs to be updated.
In particular, it's a big jump from 4.X to 5.X; IIRC, you need
to do some special magic from 4.11 to 5.X. After that, I'd wanna
get to about 5.3/5.4 or so before jumping to 6.1.
Then there's the filesystem issue. If you go from 4.X to 6.X
directly by means of 2 or more cvsup/buildworld cycles, you can't
reformat your disks and use UFS2.

P.S. I keep complete backups ...
Good!
