Works fine. But, having never (yet) upgraded FreeBSD as we're still rather new to the FreeBSD environment and have only 'new' v6.2-RELEASE instances, the option for a NanoBSD instance on Flash seems interesting. I suppose it's possible to do the upgrade in-place "on" the existing HDD (again, I've simply not done it yet ...), but the option to have a 'safe' boot env, in case the HDD dies or the install is screwed up, seems of real value. Is there a good reference/howto on installing NanoBSD on a Soekris' FlashDrive for eventual upgrade? Thanks. --Tenzen _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
