Can I just use sysinstall to upgrade? a sysinstall upgrade SHOULD work (have not tried), however if you want to do it the buildworld/installworld way you cannot just do a complete update. One way to do the upgrade is do a sysinstall binary upgrade to get all your binary files/libs up to date, and then do a buildworld/kernel/installworld - finishing up with a mergemaster Always remember to read UPDATING in /usr/src after doing a cvsup - this should work just fine. If the machine is important and you don't want to "risk" it - you can upgrade each minor version one at a time (ie 4.2->4.3 etc etc) doing buildworlds and reading UPDATING each time tracking every change - this is the "safe" way to do it, especially if you aren't too sure how to do the update :-) Greetings, Søren Klintrup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
