Re: Syinstall binary upgrade to FreeBSD 8.0

Yes, there is something like COMPAT7X option in 8.0 GENERIC kernel.

2009/11/28 David Jackson <djackson452@xxxxxxxxx>:
I would like to upgrade a 7.1 FreeBSD system to 8.0 FreeBSD using
sysinstalls binary upgrade feature. I would mainly for now would like to
upgrade the core OS and X and so on, but I still have some 7.1 binaries that
will still be on the system. Is there binary compatability with 7.1 binaries
on 8.0. Binary compatability is pretty important to me. Anything else i need
to know about? As for why I am not using freebsd-update, i did try it once
it seemed as though it was going to take 7 hours to update the system., when
the old way will have it done in 30 minutes. Thanks in advance.
