This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------070507000302000909000501 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I've continued reading to keep myself updated with info used, and I have a few questions about what I've seen about freebsd-update: I've read not to use FreeBSD-update AND cvsup together, and so I've decided to go along with this as to not cause problems for myself. Does FreeBSD-update have any benefit over the cvsup method? I've heard you don't have to go single user and a few other things, but does it have any actual benefit? Thanks, -Allen --------------070507000302000909000501 Content-Type: message/rfc822; name="Re: Steps to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE.eml" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename*0="Re: Steps to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE.eml" X-Account-Key: account2 X-Mozilla-Keys: Return-Path: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from imta17.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net (LHLO IMTA17.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net) (76.96.62.78) by sz0066.ev.mail.comcast.net with LMTP; Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:41:14 +0000 (UTC) Received: from mx2.freebsd.org ([69.147.83.53]) by IMTA17.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net with comcast id 9MhD1b009191zLd0HMhDJ4; Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:41:13 +0000 X-Authority-Analysis: v=1.0 c=1 a=kCZe-sXRUcAA:10 a=KMtfCR79ncsA:10 a=HbgL/g56OogK6HvHzeP49Q==:17 a=6I5d2MoRAAAA:8 a=CrbaMuXZ3tLjqPtnMvEA:9 a=vGCvIn-j_rUC0yI49bYA:7 a=VfPJfyAtJcH101fUb7q8YNNqwBQA:4 a=LZpE_G2OTGQA:10 Received: from hub.freebsd.org (hub.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::36]) by mx2.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4069E14EC64; Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:40:34 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org) Received: from hub.freebsd.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AF03710656D3; Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:40:32 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org) Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9A2001065674 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:40:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from krad@snaffler.net) Received: from mk-filter-4-a-1.mail.uk.tiscali.com (mk-filter-4-a-1.mail.uk.tiscali.com [212.74.100.55]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7584F8FC1A for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:40:22 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from krad@snaffler.net) X-Trace: 135113718/mk-filter-4.mail.uk.tiscali.com/B2C/$b2c-TRUSTED/b2c-IMPLICITLY_TRUSTED/212.74.112.53/None/krad@snaffler.net X-SBRS: None X-RemoteIP: 212.74.112.53 X-IP-MAIL-FROM: krad@snaffler.net X-MUA: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (X11/20081023) X-IP-BHB: Once X-IronPort-Anti-Spam-Filtered: true X-IronPort-Anti-Spam-Result: AgoBAAMIgUnUSnA1/2dsb2JhbAAIywuEDgY X-IronPort-AV: E=Sophos;i="4.37,343,1231113600"; d="scan'208";a="135113718" Received: from e1-1.ns500-1.ts.milt.as9105.net (HELO [10.44.24.27]) ([212.74.112.53]) by smtp.tiscali.co.uk with ESMTP; 29 Jan 2009 09:40:20 +0000 Message-ID: <49817974.3030307@snaffler.net> Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:40:04 +0000 From: "krad@snaffler.net" <krad@snaffler.net> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (X11/20081023) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Zbigniew Szalbot <zszalbot@gmail.com> References: <94136a2c0901280332n7301fe50tc85408a9f20c6a22@mail.gmail.com> <49804A92.904@gmail.com> <20090128133943.6ac00015@gumby.homeunix.com> <4981455F.8060907@comcast.net> <49814E03.5010908@gmail.com> <94136a2c0901282247q2a19dd7es6d9d0be45d921c68@mail.gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <94136a2c0901282247q2a19dd7es6d9d0be45d921c68@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: User Questions <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: Steps to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Errors-To: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Zbigniew Szalbot wrote: > Hi all, > > On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 07:34, Tim Judd <tajudd@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Akenner wrote: >> >>> RW wrote: >>> >>>> On Wed, 28 Jan 2009 05:07:46 -0700 >>>> Tim Judd <tajudd@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>>> Nothing really beats the CVS way.
