upgrade from 25.7.11_9 and ISC

[jmcgee]

I am still using the default from 5 years ago, ISC.  Anything I should be aware of before upgrading to 26.1.

There are no special considerations I have seen mentioned, use of ISC or Kea or DNSmasq being essentially independent from the upgrade. ISC changes to being a plugin but still transitions as expected, or so I read because I had switched to Kea prior. Use snapshots and upgrade stuff in the order that pleases you. If you are not already using ZFS then consider seriously a reinstallation to employ it, before other work.

I had bought a second machine to operate as backup, it has two nvme drive.  I may get it up and running first.  Switch to that one, see if I can install second drive into first one.

Upgrading? No. Reinstalling to import a config? Make sure to install the ISC plugin before rebooting the thing.
