Hello, Install cvsup. cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin; make (when finished, make install). Edit your make.conf (/etc/make.conf) so that when you type make update, your src files are updated. You may want to put the following in /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE= yes # SUP= /usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPFLAGS= -g -L 2 SUPHOST= cvsup.FreeBSD.org SUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile SUPFILE1= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/www-supfile PORTSSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile DOCSUPFILE= /usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile Edit your stable-supfile. vi /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile and make sure the line: *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org is changed to something like: *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.ORG save the file. Also edit /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and the doc-supfile or www-supfile for the *default host= When this has been done, cd /usr/src and as root, type make update That will begin your upgrade. When it is finished (it will let you know), you can then type make world or you can upgrade in steps. 1) make buildworld 2) make buildkernel 3) make installworld 4) make installkernel 5) mergemaster Hope that helps. -Lanny On Sat, May 26, 2001 at 11:25:02AM -0400, tatzlwurm dragon wrote: > Greetings.
