The problem there is actually that it's unclear about what constitues a "part". In short the parts in question are src, doc, www, and ports (of which you can only update pieces, say only English and your native language if not English). Personaly there's nothing at all complicated about using the cvsup files in /usr/shared/examples/cvsup so I always use those. > Am I reading the wrong section of the handbook? That's the right section of the handbook, though the make world section isn't really very current. > Should I be reading something else entirely? Once you update all of /usr/src you can and are expected to read /usr/src/UPDATING which lists the commands you should execute to upgrade your world and kernel. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
