Is this okey? or is there a better way? Take the 'Upgrade' option! It's quite painless for 2.2.1 -> 2.2.2 and the only stuff you'll need to touch is the sysconfig -> rc.conf information. I don't believe that any binaries are broken by this upgrade and the majority (all?) of information in your /etc directory is preserved intact. Tony
