If you don't know how to generate a /etc/cvsupfile, type "pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz". This will make a /etc/cvsupfile for you and run CVS for you. Then, later, you can type "/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile" to update your system. After you do a cvsup, go to /usr/src and type "make world". You must be superuser to do both a make world and a cvsup. Alternately, you can spit the building and installing up with "make buildworld" and then "make installworld". After the new system is installed, go to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. Type "config MYKERNEL" or "config GENERIC" if you haven't built a custom kernel. Then, goto ../../compile/MYKERNEL. Type "make depend", then "make", then "make install". You might also have to update /etc/. There is a good tutorial in the handbook about upgrading FreeBSD from source using Make World. You should read it. After installing your new kernel, reboot the system. To confirm that you upgraded, after the system is up, type "uname -a" Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
