Greg,

Thanks for all your work on the book The Complete FreeBSD.

I installed FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE on CD-ROM when it came out.
Now I would like to upgrade to FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE.

I looked at the handbook and your own chapter 19, but didn't see
any mention of the utility of:

cd /usr/src
make update

In fact, I can't find any documentation about this target
anywhere, other than the one-line description in the Makefile,
which indicates that it updates sources via CVS. Does this mean
I could just periodically 'make update' instead of the other,
lengthier procedures?

-Mike
