Hi,

I have a computer with FreeBSD 1.1 (I think, I can't remember the exact 
version) at my school and I would like to upgrade it to the latest version, 
but I do not want to make any mistakes because this computer is our gateway to 
the rest of the internet, and I can not take the risk of losing any of our 
routing, bootp, etc information. What I want to know is what files should I 
back up?  

If this is a part of the FAQ, then please do not bother to reply and I will 
read the FAQ when I next see it posted, and I am sorry for asking a "dumb" 
question.

Thank you for you time.

From
  Paul
