Date: 19 Jul 1996 22:04:35 GMT Organization: Portland State University, Portland, OR Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4sp0pj$5uq@walt.ee.pdx.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sirius.cs.pdx.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] 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 daver@cs.pdx.edu
