Hi, I have found, if you're connected to the 'net, to like this procedure: 1. pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz 2. Say yes to everything except to do the Update and the firewall, ports as you wish... 3. vi /etc/cvsupfile 4. change RELENG_2_2 to RELENG_2_2_6_RELEASE 5. cvsup -L 2 -g /etc/cvsupfile 6. cd /usr/src 7. make world (do not reboot afterwards, this takes a long time). 8. backup /etc/ (cd /etc; tar cvf /tempdir/etcback.tar) 9. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 10. cp GENERIC MYKERNEL (your kernel) 11. vi MYKERNEL (edit as desired) 12. config MYKERNEL 13. cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL 14. make depend; make; make install 15. cd /usr/obj/etc (not sure on this one, pulling from memory) 16. rm master.passwd, group, rc.conf (look at this one and merge where necessary), and whichever other files you have modified. 17. copy to /etc the rest (with subdirectories). 18. vi /etc/fstab 19. change wd0a to wd0s1a 20. reboot the beast You could most likely do the same from the CD and a boot floppy (the latest). Thanx, Randy Katz > Hello all! I have a 2.2.5-RELEASE box. I would like to know what's the > right procedure to make a 2.2.6 upgrade (perhaps a 3.0 upgrade). Thank > you.
