You can already do a buildworld, but you still have to make and install a new kernel in order to do a installworld. At this time you should therefore not use `make world' yet. A full upgrade path can only be offered if the kernel is also made along with a buildworld and is also installed as part of the installation process. This requires a bit more work though. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
