If you have specific problems, ask here again. You may find it
easier to simply reinstall.

Can someone give me some pointers? http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade39/html Particularly the sentence:Upgrades are only supported from one release to the release immediately following it. Do not skip releases. so I think a reasonable pointer would be: upgrade to 3.8, then to 3.9, or if that's too much hassle, reinstall, it's probably a lot simpler. Regards, Patsy

Thank you for the advice, everyone. I don't want to lose my current configuration, so I think I will give the double upgrade a try. S Jack J.
