here is howto rebuild you system via cvs dump this into a file --------------->8 *default host=cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all --------------->8 add these lines to /etc/make.conf SUP_UPDATE= yes SUPFILE= <file u just created> then cd /usr/src make update && make buildworls && make buildkernel && make installkernel ( if you are multicore do a -j 8 or something on the build lines, anything upto 32 should build ok ) reboot cd /usr/src mergmaster -p make installworld mergmaster reboot i theory tou should rebuild all your ports now as well, but generally i never both and havent had trouble if you dont have anything in /usr/src or dont have one just install the base src distribution from sysinstall or download install.sh, sbase.aa, sbase.inf from you favorite freebsd mirror and do a ./install.sh base eg mine is here http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.1-RELEASE/src/ Akenner wrote: > RW wrote: >> On Wed, 28 Jan 2009 05:07:46 -0700 >> Tim Judd <tajudd@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> >>> Nothing really beats the CVS way.
