You must update you source tree by using csup (it's integrate in FreeBSD now), with some config file like *default host=cvsup5.fr.freebsd.org compress *default release=cvs *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default delete use-rel-suffix *default tag=RELENG_6_2 src-all After that you can read the file /usr/src/UPDATING wich containt the problem each patch level fix. And it's your «job» to known if this problem affect you. > > My dude is: is very convenient have upgraded the kernel to this > patches. I'm a home user, not a bussiness. Nothing "important" > depend on my system. I think you're Linux user ;-) The source tree containt all systeme. What's mean the kernel and the userland (like cd/ls/etc.). Well you need to known if the patch-level is affect the userland or/and kernel. But if you've a modern PC, you can make world. For that you can do: cd /usr/src make -DNO_PROFILE buildworld make buildkernel (add KERNELCONF=you_config_name, if you've custom kernel config) make installkernel (add KERNELCONF= etc....) reboot when you'r in boot menu choose item 4 for boot in single mode when you obtaint something like shell press Return, you are in single mode with only / mounted. Type : mount -a -t ufs cd /usr/src make -DNO_PROFILE installworld (this thing install all userland) mergemaster (this thing make all etc_file in /tmp and do a big diff and ask you if you want install the new file or keep the old one). logout After that you have a fresh kernel, and fresh userland. Hope that's help Regards. -- Albert SHIH Observatoire de Paris Meudon SIO batiment 15 Heure local/Local time: Mer 27 jui 2007 13:18:13 CEST
