But you can generally think of it being "stable" as well in that the goal is to have less bugs then previous versions. Have a read through http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-upgrading.html Then the broad steps to upgrade your source, cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /tmp edit the file in tmp and make sure the line reads as follows for the release *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 csup -g -L2 -h cvsup10.freebsd.org /tmp/stable-supfile This will pull down all the source for the RELENG_8, the most uptodate source tree and put it in /usr/src from the cvsup mirror cvsup10.freebsd.org. Where you see references to cvsup (the client app) use instead csup which will do everything you need. then cd /usr/src;make -j2 buildworld > b.out;make -j2 buildkernel > b.out.k If all goes well, you will see in b.out at the end -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> World build completed on Wed Jun 22 07:10:37 EDT 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------- and -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Kernel build for GENERIC completed on Wed Jun 22 07:18:49 EDT 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------- Then follow the steps to install the kernel and world http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
