What is the current procedure to upgrade from 5-STABLE to > 6-CURRENT? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html Basically you'll do it the same way you do any upgrade. Just be sure after you upgrade your source that you read UPDATING to find any major issues. UPDATING doesn't really tell you /how/ it only points out major changes that you should be aware of when you do upgrade. Instead of checking out a RELENG_* branch you will check out the "HEAD" branch. -- Ryan Sommers ryans@gamersimpact.com
