Hello again fellow FreeBSD-ers...
The following is from the INSTALL.TXT file of the 2.1.5-RELEASE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this upgrade will attempt to do is best summarized thusly:
1. fsck and mount all file systems chosen in the label editor.
2. Ask for a location to preserve your /etc directory into and do so.
3. Extract all selected distributions on top of your existing system.
4. Copy certain obvious files back from the preserved /etc, leaving the
rest of the /etc file merge up to the user.
5. Drop user in a shell so that they may perform that merge before
rebooting into the new system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would seem to me the best way to do this would be to fetch the entire
/usr/src subdir and 'make world' -- like I did when I went 2.1-RELEASE ->
2.1-STABLE. Anyone else try this / see a problem? Where do I find the
/usr/src?
Thanks again,
John Clark
