I first did a source upgrade to 2.2.6 (the latest -stable of the time, you'll likely want to get the end of the RELNG_2_2 branch). Then, I did a buildworld/installworld (or maybe it was still called make world then). I also upgraded my kernel. I then upgraded my sources to 3.0. There was a special target in that makefile. Make aout-to-elf I think it was. I read the src/Makefile to find it, ran through the process to get an elf system. Once I had that, I upgraded to 3.2-stable (the latest stable at the time, just before 3.3 came out) and did a make buildworld/installworld and then upgraded my kernel. I then sold all the hoops I'd jumped through on the second hand market for a lot of money. Sadly this was a mere fraction of the price I paid for them :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
