You should read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html#AEN27432 and /usr/src/UPDATING. The Canonical Way to Update Your System (for 5.x): 1) make buildworld 2) make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE 3) make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE 4) <reboot in single user> 5) /etc/rc.d/preseedrandom 6) mergemaster -p 7) make installworld 8) mergemaster 9) <reboot> Jon
