      @reberhar At least keep a configuration backup and proceed.

      You should be fine in general.

        @reberhar said in pfSense® CE 2.8.1 Beta Now Available!:

        @pfGeorge

        Hello,

        Since this is a maintence update and the operating system is not changing, do I need to uninstall the packages before applying it? I am just wondering about saving some time.

        Thanks

        Roy

        I guess after reading the other posts maybe I do need to do the packages.

                  @Waqar.UK No they usually just give us a printout of the code and we're expected to type in the bytes ourselves.

                      @KOM Ah. Those were the days. Spend three days typing in the code and then two weeks debugging. Got some great skills from those days.

                        @xxup You just conjured up some memories of me, my Apple ][ and various issues of Nibble magazine.

                            @slu All us old guys with 11/70, BSD, System 5, RSX11 experience, VIM, Emac, C, etc.

                            I even did 8s for awhile. Really good stuff. Too bad AT&T was so greedy.
