Hi,
I have a machine with the OpenBSD 3.4 installed, and I want to install the
OpenBSD 3.5 (via ftp), without formating some partitions (like /home,
/var/www/htdocs, etc). I saw in the FAQ that we can leave some partitions
untouched, but the FAQ don't say how:
"Note that it is possible to leave some partitions untouched in this
process, such as a /home, but otherwise, assume everything else is
overwritten.."
Can anyone help me ? I looked at the disklabel FAQ/man page and I didn't
find any option to do not format a partition. I also didn't find anything
helpful in google...
Thanks,
