So, as I understand it, I should just run make buildwold from /usr/src, then build the new kernel and then do make installworld, then update the files not updated by make world etc, etc. as in the handbook. That, then, will upgrade my system to 4.7. Right? As I need no changes to the programs I have installed (they're all up-to-date with portupgrade), I should just verify that the /etc/group, passwd and master.passwd files are conforming to the newer version. And this, as I understand, can be done by the mergemaster. Thanks much. PJ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
