How can I check what packages are included in the base install for
FreeBSD 5.3? I really want to use gcj, and with the speed of my Alpha
(166MHz), it takes forever to compile the gcc suite. I am running 5.2.1
right now, and would upgrade to 5.3 if gcj is included. Also, a
subquestion, how difficult would it be to do an upgrade from 5.2.1 ->
5.3? I noticed in the 5.2.1 installer (/stand/sysinstall) there was an
option marked "upgrade".... does this work easily, or is that a tricky
question to answer??
