Running cvsup will update the files in /usr/src: # prefix=/usr # This specifies where to place the requested files. A # setting of "/usr" will place all of the files requested # in "/usr/src" (e.g., "/usr/src/bin", "/usr/src/lib"). # The prefix directory must exist in order to run CVSup. but these are the source files, not binaries. To update your system, you need to build and install the resulting binaries. Read sections 21.3 and 21.4 of the handbook. (The process is not as scary as it sounds, but you do have to be careful.) -- David Fleck david.fleck@mchsi.com
