I did it just as you're proposing a few weeks ago. It took about 2 hours total on my PIII 500, NOT including port upgrades (which incidentally took about 30 hours for everything I have installed!). Don't forget to run "mergemaster" at the end; I think there were some changes between the two versions if memory serves me well... Hope that helps, VS On Sat, 30 Aug 2003 17:58:08 +0200 Guy Van Sanden <n.b@myrealbox.com> wrote: > How would I best upgrade my 5.0 installation to 5.1? > > I have done binary (CD-ROM) updates on 4.x in the past, but I was > thinking this could be done using cvsup. > > Can anyone briefly say wheter this procedure would be right: > - change default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_0 to RELENG_5_1 > - cvsup the new sources > - follow instructions to buildworld+installworld in Chapter 21 of the > handbook. > > Any ideas how long this would take ? > > Thanks in advance > > Guy > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
