Just for reference... A couple of days ago I dug my FreeBSD box out of the moving stuff (it's been sort of mothballed since we moved last November and I started needing it again and actually had time to rebuild it). At the time I mothballed it, I was tracking RELENG_2_2. Last cvsup and build had been Oct 29, 1998. My kernel was indicating 2.2.7, just for reference. I cvsupped RELENG_3, did a make upgrade. Had one little problem in the install (/usr/share/examples/ppp didn't get created, so the install into that directory failed). Simple tweak to fix. When the machine rebooted I still had a few weird problems, so I did a fresh make buildworld, make installworld cycle, and my machine is now up and running on 3.1-STABLE with new bootblocks, an elf kernel and an elf world. And reasonably happy, even. Most of my /usr/local is still broken, but I'll get there. (I need to actually install the compat22 stuff until I get all the ports I use rebuilt, working on that. cvsupped ports-all this morning.) I'm impressed. It was a remarkably easy upgrade. Thanks, guys. :) -Deb -- I'm a bitch, I'm a tease, I'm a goddess on my knees... | deb@pobox.com ____ "For extra fun, pop eyeball out of eye socket!" _______| DoD#0034 __\_ / May your soul be celebrating in Valhalla before | Big Wet Sleepy Eyes \ // the Christian God notices that you're dead. | Of A Tree Nymph \/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
