To get upto 4.5 release I think you will need a tag of RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE After that change this to "RELENG_4_5" which should start to get you the security updates when you again run cvsupit. -And -ditto- to go up the release chain... The src for 4.7 takes about 300 MB. Then you need space for the object files .. say >300 I am not sure about the ports collection, a couple of hundred maybe. Docs ? It's all online, so you could leave them out if you are really tight on space. I have never upgraded this way, so the chance of success of using the above to jump from 4.4 to 4.7 in one bound is not something I could comment on. Good luck :) -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
