Bader) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: FreeBSD 2.1.6.1 -> 2.2-R Date: 11 Feb 1997 09:42:11 -0500 Organization: Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS), Univ of Maryland, College Park Lines: 26 Message-ID: <5dq0g3$5kl@eve.umiacs.umd.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: eve.umiacs.umd.edu NNTP-Posting-User: dbader Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35334 Hi, My first experience with FreeBSD was installing FreeBSD-2.1.6.1 (Walnut Creek CD-ROMs) onto a new personal machine as soon as the CD's arrived. (I had no major problems at all installing!!) When the FreeBSD 2.2 CD's arrive from Walnut Creek (sometime in the future), are there any suggestions for migrating to FBSD-2.2.x ? Everything on my machine is pretty stable now, and I've installed many ports (both official ports and other things I've found on the net); will everything need to be recompiled for 2.2.x? Also, can anyone recommend a backup device (and where to purchase) that will work with a Cyrix 6x86 P166+, 16MB, 3Gig WD IDE HD, and FreeBSD 2.1.6.1 and the 2.2.x release ? Thanks for any suggestions (and I'm sure this is just the first of many similar questions being asked on the newsgroup ;) david David A.
