Upgrading to CURRENT
Hi all, I am planing to upgrade my 4.6.2/i386 desktop box to current. Is there some information online about switching from 4.x to 5.0? What are the new features and bits?

It is not guaranteed to work (or even build) at any given time. Tracking the STABLE stream is probably what you're after. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/index.html -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
