Anywhere I > can find step by step documentation? Or if you can show me the way. I'd suggest the following steps: 1. install mergemaster from ports (/usr/ports/sysutils/mergemaster) 2. Read through the mergemaster man page. 3. print out the following "excellent" documents from the web: A. http://www.ucb.crimea.ua/~ru/FreeBSD/30upgrade.html (Upgrading to FreeBSD 3.0-STABLE by Ruslan Ermilov) B. http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html ("Making the world" your own by Nik Clayton) 4. Get comfortable and read through the above documents 5. Read through /usr/src/Makefile 6. Relax and "get your mind right son" #:^) because you're about to perform the following upgrade: 2.2.7-release -> 2.2.8-stable 2.2.8-stable -> 3.2-stable When you're finished bask in the glow of a job well done ... > > Thanks > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jordan K.
