-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I think some people might disagree with my opinion, but I think the best course of action would be to cvsup to a clean /usr/src and make world. If you have built a custom kernel, make a backup copy of your conf file somewhere other than below /usr/src (I forgot when I did this, it's no big deal to make a copy of GENERIC and then tweak it to your own specks, it's just a pain if you forget). MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP /etc!!!! Also if you have done make world in the past make sure /usr/obj is clean. Some files/dirs require a little 'gentle persuasion' to rm. You might have to execute the following command to truly make sure /usr/obj is clean: csh# chflags -R noschg /usr/obj/; rm -rf /usr/obj/ When make world is complete, diff your backup of /etc with the new /etc. I can't remember if make world populates /etc, so you might have to check /usr/src/etc against both /etc and your backup copy. Then recompile a new kernel image and reboot. Hope this helps. - -burton- On Sat, 3 Jan 1998, Tommy Hallgren wrote: > Date: Sat, 3 Jan 1998 20:43:49 +0100 (MET) > From: Tommy Hallgren <md6tommy@mdstud.chalmers.se> > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Cc: md6tommy@mdstud.chalmers.se > Subject: 2.2.1 to 2.2-stable > > Hi! > > Can anyone tell me if it is faster to install 2.2.1 sources and cvsup to > 2.2-stable or to clean /usr/src and then cvsup to 2.2-stable? > > My machine is a 486 66MHz and my modem a 33k6 one and I'm currently > running 2.2.1 FreeBSD. > > (Please cc me since I'm not on this list) > > regards, Tommy > > > - --------------- Burton Sampley bsampley@best.com or bsampley@haywire.csuhayward.edu or bsampley@slip.net PGP key available at http://www.best.com/~bsampley/pgp.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCUAwUBNK72HXt2O8KJtMdBAQHGhQP4m0LGJs7tHDQPHZxAHLqRqs7lUQ/jAecY iIP8HPa4eW0ny3lZYSl2HtUTM3GQayNoosevbAPgxFyzpWWYeWdNgHKA1olpd2Eb WCBnQVM7t9VyRcNgS7g/0Pf7cDdwx+OdHBqTzwGKu9bzkoAfvTWfbFk8aRNfbVdH LuNFQ914Fw== =Qw/x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
