CVSUP or doing it from CD? no idea, but this is bound to be in the handbook. [later] hm, looks like it's not. then i'd say cvsup is the way to go. i've never done a binary upgrade, because upgrading from the source (using cvsup) is too easy: # cd /usr/src # rm -fr /usr/obj/* # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=... # make installkernel KERNCONF=... # make installworld # shutdown -r now # mergemaster ... > I assume they do the same thing(CVSUP is probably getting more recent > files???) no. you'll get the sources with cvsup. unless you talk about updating /usr/src from the newer release cd's. -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 8:40AM up 14:32, 7 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
