It is not like you do upgrade on your laptop FreeBSD or Linux. Equivalent on your laptop would be that you keep your config in directory /config, have that in partition you don't touch then reinstall new FreeBSD on your system partition and remount that /config partition. You just lost all the programs you've installed outside base system and any other changes you've done outside /config. Your laptop FreeBSD doesn't know what exists in the system what data has been changed, what has been installed it can't just steamroll the installation with new, so it'll reinstall new stuff on top of old one for the things it knows about. Juniper doesn't have this problem, they know what is the state of the system so they can just streamroll it and they do. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
