The easiest, by far, way of updating your /usr/src tree is probably: # cd /usr/src # make SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile SUP_UPDATE=yes update There are other ways, and a few of them are described in the Handbook too. The above will probably get you started, since the Handbook section seems intimidating. > >3. Build and install new version. > Is there a link for this procedure? The makeworld chapter of the Handbook is one way of finding out about this. The other one is to read at least once through /usr/src/UPDATING and make sure you look at the notes section titled: To update from 4.0-RELEASE or later to the most current 4.x-STABLE ---------- Giorgos.
