Hello guys! That is not a real question, but an advise requirement :) Currently I use 4.0-RELEASE, but I do want to track 4.0-STABLE and I do need anybody explain me in detalis the process (don't flame me, I had read handbook, but still have a few questions). I currently don't have online, and even email at my home :(, the only thing I had is email in University, thus I desided to use CTM. As I understand, the first thing I should do is to subscribe to freebsd-stable and ctm-announce lists (is it really essential?). I should suscribe to ctm-???? list (what should I put instead ???? here?) to get deltas by email. After that I should install the whole source-tree from 4.0-RELEASE, download from ftp.frebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM/ (or their mirror) all previous deltas (what is their names?). After that I save all deltas attached to the mail to floppy, put them into /usr/delta/* , cd to /usr/src and do ctm -v -v /usr/delta/src-* to modify sources. After that I may do make world monthly. If I am wrong, correct me please. And one more question: can I do tar cfz /dos/backup/src.tgz /usr/src and delete all my deltas, or I should keep all deltas? Thanks! PS. Sorry for my bad english.
