I have ftp'ed the entire "2.1-stable" source tree (src) down. How do I install it? >From the handbook: ------------------ Before compiling stable, read the Makefile in /usr/src carefully. You should at least run a `make world' the first time through as part of the upgrading process. Reading freebsd-stable will keep you up-to-date on other bootstrapping procedures that sometimes become necessary as we move towards the next release. >From this, I assume the following: 1) rename /usr/src to /usr/src.old 2) unpack the src tree to /usr/src The stable sources are now in place... 3) cd /usr/src 4) make world ; make all ; make install ; make clean 5) reboot, and pray to whatever deity that consoles me that my system will come back up Thanks, John Clark [jrclark@netview.net]
