You can upgrade by hand. Boot a new kernel, untar all sets except for etc.tgz (you really don't want to overwrite your config), and run etcupdate(8) and postinstall(8) using the etc set as a source. Be sure not to forget about permissions when you untar the sets (i.e., tar -xp or pax -rpe). -- Quentin Garnier - cube%cubidou.net@localhost - cube%NetBSD.org@localhost "See the look on my face from staying too long in one place [...] every time the morning breaks I know I'm closer to falling" KT Tunstall, Saving My Face, Drastic Fantastic, 2007.
