One question I have, is whether to go to the ELF kernel before I recompile the world with current source.     My plan is as follows: - Load 3.0-RELEASE (done) - archive and delete all a.out tools (done) - update to the new bootblocks (done) - move to ELF kernel - CVSup to current - rebuild the world - come up on current   I have tarred up all the a.out libraries and tools, to try and make sure that I don't install anything that depends on a.out.  Hopefully, I will not have to go back on that!   Apart from the comments in src/UPDATING, Peter Wemm's ELF day web page, and Robert Nordiers page on the new bootblocks, can anyone think of anything I should take into account?   regards, Geoff (hoping to be hacking again soon!) -- Geoff Rehmet, The Internet Solution - Infrastructure tel: +27-11-283-5462, fax: +27-11-283-5401 mobile: +27-83-292-5800 email: geoffr@is.co.za URL: http://www.is.co.za   To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
