Date: 21 Aug 1994 23:58:51 GMT Organization: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center -- Greenbelt, Maryland USA Lines: 11 Distribution: world Message-ID: <338pnr$cvu@paperboy.gsfc.nasa.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: cobi.gsfc.nasa.gov Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am attempting to get with the program and upgrade from FreeBSD 1.0.2 to 1.1.5.1. But I am stuck. What I want is to get all the new binaries on the disk without disturbing the other contents. But the installation scripts appear to insist on running newfs on all your file systems. Can't find this answer in any of the installation notes or FAQs. I must be missing something. Any help gratefully received. - Dave Cottingham dc@cobi.gsfc.nasa.gov
