Hey Raymond,

I saw your email and I have just recently sent the same question. I
haven't recieved a complete answer. I will paste-in what I have recieved
but I still have questions. There is a particular step that envolves
verifying a VPN version of which I do not have; I don't know what to do
about that. Also, it explains that you should copy the dir structure for
FW1 and that you then can do a "policy"-->"install". What is that? I
can't find out where that is, and if I did, do you just point to the
root of the SUNWfw directory? 

I have sent these questions but I am still hoping for a response.

Here you go!

Q.  What do I need to do to upgrape from FW-1 2.x to FW-1 3.0?
