I would like to get it to a point, where I could routinelu do a cvsup and stay with the -STABLE branch. I understand that doing this involves doing an upfrade to what is basicly 3.1. At this point in time, I believe that I have a ELF userland, but a .out kernel. Is this correct? What is involved in doing this upgared? I understand that there may be boot blcak changes? Yhe machine triple botts to FreeBSD, NT, and win95, using booteasy, which in trun calls the NT bootlaoder for the 2 m$ modes. I am concerned about rendering this machine unusable, as it is my new primary work machine. Any advice, or pointers to docs on this would be appreciated. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 843-745-3154 Westvaco Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 1999 Stan Brown.
