With that in mind, I'm going to give you a supfile that will upgrade your sources. supfile: ################################## *default tag=RELENG_5_3 *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/var/db *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix #*default compress src-all ports-all tag=. doc-all ################################### The above will update your sources to what you have asked for, and that's it. You still have to do a buildworld sequence in order to make the necessary updates to the kernal and userland. You still have to upgrade the installed packages. Look at the handbook, read /usr/src/UPDATING and /usr/ports/UPDATING, search the archives and google search the internet. Then ask some more questions. Don -- Donald J. O'Neill donaldj1066@fastmail.fm I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.
