Nope. > Is it a simple matter to just build > stable sources on a 2.1.0-release system? Yep. You update your sources via sup or CTM and then do a 'make world'. If everything works like it's supposed to you have a system that's 95% of the way there. Then, build and install a -stable kernel and you're 98% of the way there. The remaining 2% is making sure your /etc and /dev files are merged, but this has to be done by hand right now. Nate
