No? actually in this case it would be easier to use cvsup to update the system and then in single user you can 'make world' and then go about building your kernel afterwards though I don't recall right off, but there is also a way to have the 'make world' build the kernel too. There is info on that I know for sure on freebsddiary.org. > It looks like 4.4 is only in RC5. > I would like to build the most most up-to-date system > FOR a production machine. Would that be 4.4RC5 or 4.3 > with the latest patches? Either or are good at this point. If you cvsup using the RELENG_4_3 tag in your cvsup conf you'll get your source tree updated with those security updates since they are merged into the cvs. if you omit the '_3' it will cvsup to the latest release in cvs of the 4.x dist. So as I said, either of them is ok at this point. -- Rob Andrews Administrator Cyberpunk Alliance http://www.cyberpunkz.org/ Minneapolis, MN [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7qA7pAXwJ9YLqJJURAuerAJ9uLKKJFxR1JQPvc7DBfz70JR8q3wCeJQ9u BQk9SzWgoqw+NMRe4xZLWR8= =UE/b -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
