Edmond" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Upgrade from 2.1-stable to 2.1.5? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I want to upgrade to FreeBSD-2.1.5-stable. A few questions: 1) At a minimum - I just download /usr/src/sys/ and compile a new 2.1.5 kernel and I will be able to run that with the current filesystem? I need a 2.1.5 kernel feature to run the Excite Search Engine (and a few other things)... of course I would keep a copy of the old kernel and source! 2) I don't want to download the entire /usr/src/ directory as I have modified the source of MANY of the system utilities for security reasons. 3) What else beside the kernel source do I need to download to update to FreeBSD2.1.5-stable? Thanks again for all your help, guys! Andy ........................................................................... . Andrew Edmond .....
