Hi,

to take all advantages from the new FFS layout algorithm, is it recommended
to start with a fresh installation to have the whole disk in this new layout?

When updating, parts of the disk would still be in the old layout and limit
the speedup.


BTW: The install notes say about updating:
"Finally, you will want to delete old binaries that were part of the version
 of NetBSD that you upgraded from and have since been removed from the NetBSD
 distribution."

How do I find out which files to delete?

Bye, Chris
