Still trying to up my 3.1R to 3.4R with "bare-bones" .iso images. Booting from 3.4 flp's and then upgrading from 3.4 barebones cdrom, I get a msg that says "can't upgrade /usr/src this way, use CTM or CVSUP. /usr/src not affected by this upgrade". I continued the upgrade anyway and got a GENERIC 3.4 kernel, but when I create a custom kernel, it comes out 3.1. ok, let's try make world, but that dies after many minutes (Pent 120) with: "cd: can't cd to /usr/src/libnetgraph Error Code 2" I just spent 3 unsuccessful days with cvsup and 6 different cvsup sites in Europe and USA across our 1 mbit/sec line, no thanks. (inactivity timeout during first checkout line, or 24+ hours before I gave up) Does this mean I have to go find and buy FreeBSD retail 3.4 cdroms (for a 3rd time) to upgrade from 3.1? iow, I can't simply upgrade from 3.1 to 3.4 with 300 megs of .iso image cdroms and obtain kernel sources for custom kernal creation? With retail commercial cdroms, will I have to wipe out each of my 3.x machines and re-do a full re-install just like Windows?
