I described the way we have successfully remote-source-upgraded two of our 3.5-STABLE servers. I posted this message because our way seems to be simpler (it may or may not work for you). btw notes about 3.x->4.x were written before buildkernel/installkernel targets were implemented and it seems that make installworld was tweaked somewhere between 4.0-RELEASE and 4.1-RELEASE so we should probably simplify /usr/src/UPDATING. /fjoe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
