(FYI: 5.3 -> 5.4 is the first time I haven't just backed up my home directory, wiped the system, and installed the new system, so take what I say with a grain of salt) I don't think you use snapshots to update your system. You can either do a binary upgrade using an ISO image, or do a src upgrade, the latter of which you would change your supfile for cvsup to be tag=RELENG_5_4. Run cvsup, then go through the 'make world' procedure in the handbook. Feel free to correct me anyone. :) Tony On Mon, 16 May 2005, fbsd_user wrote: > ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/ looks like install disc1 > content. > > How or what do I need to run to use this to update my system? > > Been to the official handbook with no luck. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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" >
