See the handbook and Do the Right Thing(TM) ;-) You must: 1. Fetch the new sources, usually via cvsup. 2. Read /usr/src/UPDATING. 3. If needed, run "mergemaser -p" 4. Build a new "world" (all userland programs, libs, utils). 5. Configure your kernel, if desired. 6. Build a new kernel. 7. Install the new kernel. 8. Reboot, preferably in single user mode. 9. Install the world. 10. Run 'mergemaster' to update /etc. I run two scripts that handle everything except 'mergemaster' and the reading of UPDATING (which, :o, I read often after the world fails to build instead of before...) But, since I'm still working and simply checking me mail periodically, it's no big deal to me, personally. I've attached them for reference --- if you choose to use them, it's at your own risk, of course. But you could easily adapt them and test them and use them yourself if you know sh scripting at all. Now, if you did indeed follow the correct procedure, I'd check your supfile first, because you may have fetch the wrong source code....
