I have 8.2-RELEASE isn't it newer ? > Hi, RELENG_8 is the present state of what is in the tree and will eventually make 8.3-RELEASE. Its called STABLE, but that means no ABI changes to the branch. 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/
