Thanks, You can use cvsup to update your source tree, and do a source compile/install of your world and kernel. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Are good places to start reading. If you want to install -STABLE, use RELENG_4 as your cvs tag. If you want to install 4.5-RELEASE, use RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE as your cvs tag. If you want 4.5-RELEASE+security_fixes, use RELENG_4_5 as your cvs tag. See /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile for an example of a cvsup supfile. The first update can seem like a bit much, but once you get the hang of it things are a snap. > ---Marius -- Christopher Schulte http://www.schulte.org/ Do not un-munge my @nospam.schulte.org email address.
