Okay, cool.

I have one last question (me thinks) before I attempt this. (and I'll
attempt it on my home server, first, even though it is a 5.3 box. At
least I can get practice).

On the 4.9 server, what should my supfile's tag be?

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_11

Is that right?

And I assume I would then be safe doing:

rm -fr /usr/src
cvsup stable-supfile

I've since gathered that is the case. I can see it is possible, but
since the server has two drives, I think I'll wait on this, install 5.3
on the second drive, and deal with that stuff then.

You think you're special, eh? :c)
I make some JUICY mistakes sometimes, too!!

Generally, I am the only user logged into the machine. So the only issue
is running processes, which I am not all that worried about since right
after the install I'm going to reboot.....

Thank you, Peter.
