Do you mind if I summarize what I think the process is? - get source (you get your source right into the /usr/src dir. right? I deleted my old /usr/src and /usr/ports and then copied the new ones in). - make buildworld - save your old /etc directory - create new /etc file - compare &/or merge old /etc with new /etc files as required - copy massaged new /etc files over - make installworld - make new kernel - reboot - fix bugs/config probs/typo's etc. - laugh like an idiot >;) -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
