MS> There's actually a very simple process to use to upgrade, providing you MS> have a broadband connection: MS> 1) cvsup your sources to the newer sources. For more information read MS> about cvsup or checkout the handbook! MS> 2) once you have new sources, cd to /usr/src and type make world; this MS> could take an hour or more MS> 3) if this completes OK, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf (on 386-based MS> processor systems) and type: MS> # config GENERIC (or whatever your kernel config file is) MS> 4) type: MS> # cd ../../compile/GENERIC (or name of kernel config file) MS> # make; make depend; make install MS> 5) if this completes OK, type: MS> # shutdown -r now MS> 6) once rebooted, login, and check uname -a. You will see stats for a MS> 4.9-x kernel! at step 4, you should do: make depend && make && make install
