After that, you can use 'make buildworld'. Be sure to install mergemaster from the ports collection first, so that you can update your /etc files (or read ``Making the world'' your own at http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html, paying special attention to 'Update /etc'). IIRC, you can skip the 'Update /dev' section because the upgrade process will do that for you. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
