Asking questions is a very good way to learn. Head means different things to different folks. If you want the true "head" you have to compile it all. I'm lazy & impatient, so this is what I do: Every Friday there is a new selection of downloads of FreeBSD 13.0 Current at https://www.freebsd.org/where.html where you scroll down to 13.0 and select your image, likely amd or i386 (intel). Make a bootable install media. I prefer burning it to a cd/dvd, but thumbdrives work fine too (mostly). Prepare a place to install it, and make a fresh install. And be sure to join the Current email list. Some weeks work fine, sometimes not. Current is a work in progress, so when you install a fresh image, don't rush to throw away the old one - you may need it for the next week. And it's OK to skip a week;-) Clay On Wed, Oct 16, 2019 at 10:02 AM Andrea Venturoli wrote: > Hello. > > Sorry for the stupid questions: I'm trying to install a HEAD system, in > order to perform some tests. > > I tried starting from a 12.0 and building world, but I got some errors. > Should I move to 12-STABLE before I try HEAD? > > bye & Thanks > av. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
