[rt-users] Moving RT (from: debian to: freebsd)

[Ashby Gochenour]

Thanks for the advice. 

I have a couple questions about the 'database'. When you say to use
mysqldump to copy the database, do you mean the transactions directory or 
is there another database that I need to copy?

Do you know what sql commands would be used to import the database?

I have another question. When I install RT, should I stick with 1.0.1 or
shouuld I put another version of 1.0.x on instead ?

Thanks again,
