Just want to be sure that I do the right thing. So, my version at present is 5.3-BETA1 and I want to install 5.3. I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but wouldn't an upgrade work just as well? Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right: go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile once finished, then go to: /usr/src enter the commands: make buildworld KERNCONF=yourkernelname (for name, look to config file found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/) make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname (look to / ) make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname reboot You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from loader prompt for example). Then continue with: mergemaster -p go to /usr/src and type: make installworld mergemaster update /dev (for 4.x only) reboothelp
