Hi all, Is it possible to upgrade to 2.3 without booting from CD-rom och NFS? My machine in not located in the nearby and lacks CD-rom and has a slow network connection and hosted by a person with the same knowledge about linux as my mother. I was thinking of changing the /etc/ports/* to point to 2.3 instead and recompile gcc, glibc, install them and recompile the kernel and reboot (and hope for the best). (I think) I did something similar when I migrated from 2.1 to 2.2 and it worked fine. But do you who know how it works under the hood have any good advice? Best regards Per
