>Release:        2.6
>Environment:
	
	System      : OpenBSD 2.6
	Architecture: OpenBSD.sparc
	Machine     : sparc
>Description:
	I just finished upgrading my SparcClassic from 2.5 to 2.6.
	To upgrade /etc/, I downloaded both the etc25.tar.gz and the
	etc26.tar.gz sets, extracted them, and ran a diff -u over the
	resulting trees.  This made my upgrading of /etc/ extremely
	easy.

	It might be a good idea for the project to include such a patch
	as a part of the distribution, and including instructions on
	applying it. (I removed a couple of non-needed sections, and
	used `patch(1)' to apply it.  resolving a pair of rejections
	later, I was in business.)

>How-To-Repeat:
	Upgrade..
>Fix:
	Generate a patch set between, the previous and current revisions
	of the distribution, and include the patch set either with the
	distribution, or on an ftp server.
