I've been doing some reading and I think I have a grip on what I need to do to go from 2.2.8-Release to -current on my scratch box. Please check me and let me know if I've got it right: 1. Install 3.1-Stable sources 2. make upgrade 3. make world 4. make new kernel 5. reboot 6. Install -current sources 7. make world 8. make new kernel 9. reboot Now, the main question I have is, at what points do I want to upgrade /etc? I ask both for my own edification, and for the purpose of testing the new version of mergemaster. I generally upgrade /etc/ before I make world (after backing up of course) so I'm guessing I want to do it between #2 and #3, and again between #6 and #7.

I would be lying in a pool of my own blood hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, 'How do I reload this damn thing?'"
