Hi.
I ran the "upgrade" a few times until it seemed to not be able to do any more except list the lines upon lines of items that would be deleted and added.
I then followed the directions for "install", reboot, "install", reboot, and was rewarded with:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: FreeBSD, 7.1-RELEASE-p4, i386
It does take a long time without any discernible activity, and then the deluge of modifications -- which, presumably would be fewer for more frequent runs of the update.
Thanks for the guidance ... cheers, drl
