I've got a few questions about upgrading my kernel. I want to go from
the stable kernel to the current one (I'm hoping for better Linux
emulation).
I thought that for kernel upgrades all I really needed was just /sbin,
/lib, /include, and /usr/src/sys. I sup'ed all of those and tried to
make them, but got a bunch of errors. Then I realized this only works
when staying withing the same kernel type (or so I remember hearing).
So, I sup'ed everything except for "games" and did a "make world"
under /usr/src. This failed. I think install couldn't find some
.texi file that is was suppossed to install so it quit the entire
compile.
So my question is, what did I mess up? Should I have done something
else? If not, it there anyway to tell it to ignore these errors and
keep on going? Do I need to update any of the bsd.mk files in
/usr/share first?
Thanks in advance...
