As has already been said, the less tedious way is to go through a binary upgrade of each version. Checkout: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade44.html for guidance through the upgrade from 4.3 -> 4.4. The other upgrades will be similar. There are links at the top of the page that will help you through other upgrades. -Neal > thanks, > Mani > * > > -- www.nealhogan.net www.lambdaserver.com
