Hello,
I'd like to suggest two minor edits for that page. Firstly in the main
text :-
"mergemaster
Now you can update the remaining configuration files, since you
have a new world on disk."
Suggest "mergemaster -F" (to suppress prompting about countless files
where only the VCSID has changed since the last release, and the user
hadn't changed that particular default config file).
Secondly in the summary paragraph:-
# adjkerntz -i
# mount -a -t ufs
# mergemaster -p
# cd /usr/src
# installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot
The second mergemaster should be "mergemaster -F". The first one is
probably best left as is, since older versions of mergemaster don't have -F.
Kind regards,
- Martin.
