The short answer is to backup the files you want to save. As a general
rule, I suggest backing up:
/etc
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/www
The last one assumes you have some website(s).
If you are also worried about email, if you are using the standard
sendmail, also backup:
/var/mail

Hi,
I have been trying to add a second IDE hard drive. I can't seem to get it
mounted, or to get what I put into sysinstall and what comes out when I use

I can use sysinstall and then run newfs:

What actually happens when you use "Upgrade an existing system" in sysinstall?

6.1 comes out. I am gettin

Hi Oliver,
At a minimum, you will probably want to back up the following directories:

That will get all of the configuration files for FreeBSD and the

Hi Oliver,
At a minimum, you will probably want to back up the following directories:
/etc
/usr/local/etc
/home
That will get all of the configuration files for FreeBSD and the software thar
you installed from ports. The last directory will det all of your user's data.

Don't. But if you insist on doing that you could try putting

CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++40
into /etc/make.conf. Just be aware that it will probabl
how do I setup make.conf to automatically use the new compiler?
Is there any way to set this new compiler as the default (such as
building the OS), without causing issues? Or would that be just a
royal pain in the posterior that is not worth the effort?

I'm having problems installing FreeBSD V6.0 on an HP (ne Compaq) desktop PC.
The install appears to go fine from CD, or via FTP, but on rebooting the
installed boot loader halts with a register dump and "BTX halted" error
message. So no rotating curser, no kernel messages just the dump and error

It seems that there is some problem with your glib. You might need to
upgrade it. Note that portupgrade isn't working for glib/gtk 2.8.x upgrade.
You need to use gnome_upgrade212.sh instead, check /usr/ports/UPDATING for
details.

that was the default, i.e. ports routinely installed .sh in
