I'm building a tets machine to explore 5.3 before tackling the job of changing over a production machine from 4-STABLE. I've installed (minimal system) and cvsupd the 5-RELENG sources. I plan on just doing my first 5.x build with the GENERIC kernel. I've looked at the MAKEFIL, and the README in /usr/src. but I still find myself a bit confused about the differences in build methodology. I've used the follwing for years on 4.x: 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). 2. `make buildworld' 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). 6. `mergemaster -p' 7. `make installworld' 8. `mergemaster' 9. `reboot' What;s the equivelant set of steps in 5.x? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
