I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but=20 wouldn't an upgrade work just as well? Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right: =A0=A0=A0 go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup =A0=A0=A0 issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2=20 stable-supfile =A0=A0=A0 once finished, then go to: /usr/src =A0=A0=A0 enter the commands: make buildworld KERNCONF=3Dyourkernelname (for name, look to config file=20= found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/) make buildkernel KERNCONF=3Dyourkernelname (look to / ) make installkernel KERNCONF=3Dyourkernelname reboot =A0=A0=A0 You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from = loader=20 prompt for example). Then continue with: mergemaster -p =A0 go to /usr/src and type: make installworld mergemaster update /dev (for 4.x only) reboot=
