Date: 8 May 1994 20:28:06 GMT Organization: Texas A&M University, College Station, TX Lines: 12 Message-ID: <2qji0m$lrm@news.tamu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: prism.tamu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am currently running FreeBSD-1.1-GAMMA and would like to upgrade to 1.1-RELEASE but I am a little unsure of how to do this. I see that there is now a patch but this seems to be for the source and not the binaries. I would rather not recompile the whole source! How can I upgrade the binaries?? Would this be done by simply downloading them and extracting them on top of the GAMMA binaries? It seems like this might erase some of my configuration files in /etc, or are they included in the binaries?? Thanx, Dan
