Else where would it get the new kernel? >(As this gentleman is finding out.) I do upgrades like this: 1) I cvsup the sources with a simple config file My config file (just plain text) *default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.ORG *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all src-secure src-crypto 2) I do a shutdown now to go into single user mode 3) then I go into /usr/src and do a make world 4) wait for some while at my system about 2 hours 5) then I go into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/; there I do a config GENERIC 6) then ../../GENERIC -> make depend -> make -> make install 7) reboot, and yes the system is upgraded Greetings Michel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
