Yes, you can try 6.0RC1, it's pretty stable. Read the Handbook and stick to the advice: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html You shouldn't have any trouble. You should do "portupgrade -fa" (recompile all your ports) after the upgrade is finished, but it's not an urgent matter. You can as well wait a few weeks and recompile them all then - thanks to binary compatibility they will work until then. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
