There is a bit more to it than that... Read /etc/UPDATING under the heading, "*** 4.0 RELEASE ***" for the correct procedure, specifically "To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current 4.x-STABLE". That will do the trick. There is no such thing as 4-CURRENT, only 5-CURRENT. If you selected version 4 you will end up with the STABLE version. There was just recently a discussion on the differences between the terms STABLE and CURRENT, search the archives for more insight. Don't forget to reboot into single mode after making installkernel. Good luck and enjoy. _________________________________________________________________________ Chris Smith American Group Administrators IT Department First National Administrators ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc W" <mwlist@lanfear.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 1:08 PM Subject: Upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2 > > > okay, so i'm going to give this a go.
