I have decided to go with a full net reinstall (rather than use cvsup) to take me from 3.3 to 4.1. I look forward to reading UPDATING when it lands on my system. Should make great bedtime reading. thanks -Chris On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, Christopher Stein wrote: > > > I would like to do this via cvsup and `make world'. > > My understanding is that `make world' is just buildworld followed > > by installworld, each a single monolithic step.
