Hi, I need some help regarding the upgradation. Currently my system is running FreeBSD ver 4.0 installed using CD. Now I would like to upgrade it to ver 4.1 STABLE. I am planning to synchronize my local source tree with ver4.1 sources. Iam using cvsup for this. Here is my supfile: ---------- start of supfile -------- *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr/src *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all tag=RELENG_4_1_0_RELEASE ----------- End of supfile ----------- I am trying to sync only the /usr/src directory. Can I use a separate directory for sources rather than the standard /usr/src and upgrade my system? I need a clarification whether this will overwrite the existing source files of ver 4.0. I think it overwrites. If it overwrites, and later if I come across any problem in compilation of Version 4.1, what is the best way to get back to version 4.0? I am planning to take a backup of the current 4.0 /usr/src files and then overwrite them using cvsup with version 4.1 files. what I am doing is correct? Doing make world is enough to build the new vresion 4.1?
