While it's sometimes safe to update just the kernel, or just parts of the world, the only thing that's supported is if you update all the binaries and the kernel at the same time. This is covered in the handbook. > > You probably typed thes in--this is not what my stable-supfile > > looks like.

With later versions of the system, the easiest way is to use the examples supfiles directly, and just set the appropriate variables in /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE= yes SUPHOST= cvsup7.FreeBSD.org SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile With those added to /etc/make.conf, you can do "make udpate" in /usr/src to update everything, or use the same command in /usr/ports to just update the ports tree. If you're not interested in tracking the docs tree, don't define DOCSUPFILE. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
