I have a 166MMX with 32MB SDRAM and it only took like 4...I think there maybe something wrong here...I was in your same situation though...4.2-RELEASE to 4.2-STABLE. Here's what I did...exactly: cvsup sources to /usr/src cd /usr/src make -DNOPROFILE=true buildworld <- ~4 hours make buildkernel installkernel=MYKERNEL <- ~30-1hour shutdown now <- to get into single user mode mount -u / mount -a -t ufs swapon -a make -DNOPROFILE=true installworld <- ~1 hour then I used mergemaster to merge the correct config files (/etc and whatnot) cd /dev sh MAKEDEV all cd /stand/sysinstall make all install reboot Granted, this was from a pretty fresh install from the 4.2 ISO, but it wasn't all that bad. I know that doesn't really answer your question, but maybe this will help... -randy ========================================== freebsd@randys.org spitfire.randys.org For-pay Internet distributed processing. http://www.ProcessTree.com/?sponsor=11087 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
