Dear Friend, Thank you for your response toward my questions. I am pretty new to FreeBSD. My futher questions would be : 1) Anyone has tried how much update that is required from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 ? 2) Say I have update my kernel-source to 2.2.7 can i gzip/tar it, so when i reinstall with 2.2.6 later on, and i want to use 2.2.7 kernel I just need to ungzip/untar, no need to connect to internet again ? 3) Which parts minimum should i update beside sys-src and bindist ? how big they usually are ? 4) How fast the CVS server ? can they do up to 3 kb/s ( 33,6 kbps modem ) 5) If I decide to d/l the 2.2.7's src-sys ( kernel source ) can i just delete the src-sys from 2.2.6 and replace them directly with 2.2.7 ? 6) Lastly, Why does kernel update need binary update too ? which binary we need ? sbin, usr/sbin, usr/bin, or bin Pardon for my ignorance, I am new and i have read the docs and even the Complete FreeBSD book.
