I've go a couple of questions regarding updating to 5.0. I've cvsuped using *default tag=RELENG_5_0. Now its time to do the dirty work. 1) I see a line in the UPDATING file that says: make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE should 'YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' be just the name of my kernel (in my case LORAXKERNEL) or the compete path to that kernel (from uname -a: /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LORAXKERNEL)? 2) is point [8] 'In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover.' only in reference to those who track CURRENT? I am a little unclear as to the distinction between STABLE and CURRRENT with this release... Thanks, Kirk -- Kirk R.
