Now I did all things recommended for upgrading ... on my "old 3.4"
system, I catched all the new sources via cvs. Then I compiled and installed
config and genassym manually ... rewrtote the kernel configuration definitions,
compiled a kernel and after some problems I got a new kernel ... but not the
suitable devices in /dev/ (missing /dev/drum etc.). Well, thought this is going
away by make world ... but - shit! Compiler breaks due the lack of a special
option. I guess it's a new egcs option but the compiler I use is still the
one from the original 3.4-STABLE distribution (cvsupded last night before
upgading). Can anybody help? I think it would be nice if anyone of the GURUS
out of the core team post a file called UPGRADE-STEPS or similar in which they
explain rudimentary how to do when upgrading from 3.4-STABLE system up to 4.0.

Thanks in advance ...

Gruss O. Hartmann
