Dear kind folks, I am getting more and more as to what is needed to keeping a system running in optimum conditions(updating ports & userland too). I was just updating ports, but neglecting the new userland tools & kernels. I have successfully run make buildworld & make installworld, and the steps to run newer userland + kernel. Also one can use freebsd-update fetch & freebsd-update install and it will install binary updates(avoid compiling). I have done this on my 8.2 amd64 machines, but somehow the finished command says that it is ready to run 8.2-RELEASE-p6, but I reboot and am still in 8.2-RELEASE-p3. Is there a way to do it, other than doing it from source(es)? through freebsd-update utitlity? I don't understand some suggestions in forum thread: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28510 I had gotten the error message: Installing updates...install: ///usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c: No such file or directory done. and overcame it with # mkdir -p /usr/src/lib/libc/gen and rerunning freebsd-update fetch and freebsd-update install but rebooting still gives -p3 kernel: [olivares@quadcore ~]$ uname -a FreeBSD quadcore.home 8.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Sep 27 18:45:57 UTC 2011 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 [olivares@quadcore ~]$ uname -r 8.2-RELEASE-p3 [olivares@quadcore ~]$ su - Password: quadcore# freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
