I have done a source upgrade and it is *not* easy. I ended up with something that I can't trust so I will probably do a binary update later. I "think" I followed the step by step description in http://x67.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=679019176 but failed at some point to rebuild critical programs before the big rebuild. There is also lots of manual work with upgrading /etc or your custom kernel specification. Also I think you first have to upgrade to the latest sources in RELENG_3, build and install, then upgrade to RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE. Whatever method you use, don't forget to backup things, most important your /etc directory. kent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
