upgrade path from 5.5
So if some ports aren't supported on 5.5, I'd better get my aging gateway upgraded. This begs the question of the correct path. I'm tempted to do a fresh install of 7.0 and then restore, but mergemaster does a better job of making sure the config files are both updated, and that nothing is lost. Would the correct path be 5.5 - 6.3 - 7.0? Thanks, Mike -- Michael P. Soulier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
