Hello Gurus Im on FreeBSD 6.1-R decided to upgrade the src tree and for security reasons only so i did the following cvsup srcall and ports (RELENG_6_1) changed /etc/make.conf to CFLAGS= -O -pipe NO_PROFILE= cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot the following steps not from single user, just root, it refused to run from single user # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot Till here no errors and everything seems allright! the output of uname -a is FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p7 #0: Fri Sep 29 01:37:30 AST 2006 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Is this enough ? Some websites has only these steps, but in the handbook asking to update /etc, recomiple the base system and many others.. Can someone comment about my steps and advice if anything more is needed. pluse, why all was okay from root user not single user mode, and why it didnot work from single user mode. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
