To start off I know this mail is going to irritate someone but I need to know. I have been looking through the FreeBSD site and through about 2-3 hundred artiles on the site about make world. and upgrading. I would like to know where I can find the definitve information on how to do a proper make world and/or and upgrade. Most of the info I have found says download the source via cvsup and then type make world and wait. I have done this 5 times on different machines with different version of freeBSD all of them have stuffed up not one did and upgrade. I have tried the buildworld installworld option that made an even better mess as it built everything and stuffed up installing. I have found different processes and instructions for doing the upgrade. like: make buildworld (build all devices) no docs telling how (build a new kernel) (install new kernel) reboot make -DNOINFO installworld make installworld I have no idea how to do step 2. I would love to know how to upgrade my system it can be as complicated or as simple as you can make it. The reason I want to upgrade is that I ran cvsup about 2 weeks ago to find that when I try to install a port it then tells me my system is too old either make world or download an upgrade. I downloaded the upgrade eventually got it working but now I find that I am having tons of trouble installing ports every port is a pain to install. Please help me anyway you can and please do not send the mail saying read the FAQ.
