My usual procedure is, (using pre-tweaked kernel config) cvsup -g -L2 supfile cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installworld reboot This is on my own lightly-loaded system. On busy servers, I take them out of service and boot singleuser before doing installworld. For what I believe is a detailed and 'cautious' step-by-step guide, refer to the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html Good luck, -Mike -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
