This would be very hard for us to support, and I expect you will have a lot of trouble trying to do an "in place" downgrade to 4.x. You will have much less trouble if you just resign yourself to backing-up the data you need to some safe place, and do a fresh install (ie, reformat the drives using the 4.9 installation discs, and install everything from scratch). I realize that is a lot of work. However, I am pretty sure that will be less work than trying to do a "simple downgrade". >Note: I have no console access to the machines only >telnet/rlogin. Thus using a boot floppy/CD is not possible. This makes it even less likely that you will be successful doing a downgrade to 4.9. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Thu Jan 22 2004 - 08:19:10 UTC
