Painful? Not at all, unless you're the impatient type. :-) I just did the same a few days ago with no problems. # cd /usr/src # make aout-to-elf-build # make aout-to-elf-install (this will also build a new generic kernel) After this, you'll just need to update your /etc stuff and you're in business.
