Hi,
I did a source upgrade on one box from 6.4 to 7.2 or 7.3 without any problems.
I later did a source upgrade to 8.0 on the same machine just to find out that
USB has some problems, I went then back to 7.3 on this machine.
I also did some source upgrades from 7.x to 8.0 on some other

Just one note. You are managing this machine remotely? No X on it?
Take the two step approach and you should have a running system
afterwards.
It's a mail server, no X but I do have physical access.

I would like to upgrade a server that is currently running version 6.4
up to version 7.3
Having looked at /usr/src/UPDATING on a 7.3 machine, I don't see any
major problems flagged.
Given that I have console access to this machine, and I want to
preserve the user directories (it's our mail
to another (so 6.4-RELEASE to 7.3-RELEASE should be possible
with a binary upgrade, 6.4-STABLE to 7.3-RELEASE would not.)
In the past, I've usually done a wipe-and-reinstall when moving
between major version numbers
but I would rather avoid that this time around.
Also, would people recommend
. AFAIK binary upgrades are only supported when going from one
-RELEASE to another (so 6.4-RELEASE to 7.3-RELEASE should be possible
with a binary upgrade, 6.4-STABLE to 7.3-RELEASE would not.)
