Hey, can someone give me a quick 'sanity check' here? I'm wanting to install -CURRENT on a laptop to play with the new CardBus stuff. I've got a docking station for the machine that has an xl0 interface, so I don't need an exotic config if there's a cleaner way to install. Anyway, here's what I've come up with: a) install 4.2-RELEASE from CD. Install minimal installation. b) install cvsup-bin-1.6 package from ftp. c) boot minimal, config networking. d) create /etc/make.conf -- add CFLAGS= -O -pipe, COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe, and NOPROFILE=TRUE (get these from /etc/defaults/make.conf) e) create /usr/sup/refuse -- copy from /usr/share/examples/cvsup/refuse, additional doc/* lines from refuse.README f) edit /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile: change CHANGE_THIS to cvsup10, comment out *default compress, and add ports-all g) cvsup -g -L2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile h) cd /usr/src/; make -j4 buildworld >& BUILDWORLD.OUT & i) cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf; cp NEWCARD STREAM j) edit STREAM for proper configuration (mostly, have a comment-fest) k) cp NEWCARD.hints /boot/device.hints l) cd /usr/src/; make -j4 buildkernel KERNCONF=STREAM >& BUILDKERN.OUT & m) make installkernel KERNCONF=STREAM >& INSTALLKERN.OUT & n) reboot to single user o) cd /usr/src/; make installworld >& INSTALLWORLD.OUT & p) mergemaster -iv q) customize to heart's content or sanity's limit r) reboot to spiffy NEWBUS world Basically, I'm asking if there's a simpler way to install -CURRENT, and if anyone sees if my procedure is obviously going to fail at some point ... Please reply direct or cc: me, I can't keep up with the sheer volume on -questions.
