To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 11 Mar 1996 18:12:10 +0000 (GMT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I figure this is relevant to -questions, -stable and -current. But I haven't seen any activity on the -stable mailing list since subscribing to it, and I'm not subscribed to -current, so -questions it is. I've supped the latest version of -stable. Modulo problems with lp.4 not existing I've done cd /usr/src make -DNOPROFILE world and I've rebuilt my kernel with the new sources. It's all running hunky dory. However, I notice there have been some changes to files in /usr/src/etc, particularly sysconfig. Is there any easy way to merge these changes in, automatically, or is it a case of picking through each file by hand and working out what I do and do not need? Also, after subsequent sup's I assume all I'm going to do is cd /usr/src make -DNOPROFILE depend all install which is only going to recompile what's changed. It looks like 'world' will re-make everything from scratch, which is not what I want. Also, can anyone point me at some sup servers somewhat nearer the UK? The handbook says that there should be a README file in /usr/share/examples/sup with list of alternate servers, but it's not present on my system.
