I have a NetBSD 1.0 system which I would like ot upgrade
to FreeBSD 2.1.5.  I read on a previous post that the
file systems are compatible.  Does this mean that
I can just copy over the binaries and I'm off to 
FreeBSD-Land?  Is it possible to retain the data already
on the disk??


How would I do this update? (The Handbook was not very informative)
(I would be doing the install using FTP)



Thanks
Dave
