I paid some attention to this thread when it started, but i was away for a couple of days and when I saw this ... flow of messages i just couldn't resist: I upgraded from 3.4-RELEASE to 3.4-STABLE at 26. March 2000 i think, that was the first updating I ever had done with cvsup and make world. That's when I subscribed to -stable. Since it went so smoothly, I didn't have a single problem, I decided to try 4.0-STABLE, and tried it at 29. March. I'm not sure if this thread had started then already, but anyway: I read the fine manuals, handbook at my machine and at www.frebsd.org, and those release notes for 4.0. After that I cvsup'd 4.0 sources and did a very simple thing, that I usually do when I enter a directory: #cd /usr/src #ls that showed me a list of files, and there was BIG LETTERS: UPDATING I thought, well, I'm now running 3.4, and I'm about to install 4.0, so I'd guess that's called UPDATING. Some common sense, I think? I read the UPDATING and followed those very simple instructions there (well I have to admit I couldn't build a custom kernel before I had updated the system with GENERIC, but that really isn't a big problem) And here I am: >uname -a FreeBSD sjukebox 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #2: Thu Mar 30 20:38:49 EEST 2000 sjuke@sjukebox:/usr/src/sys/compile/CELERON i386 So, I updated from 3.4-release to 4.0-stable within a few days, and those was the first updates I've ever done. I didn't have a single problem, and I really didn't need to use mailing list resources for the updating. So I'd say the information provided in thos files and online was enough, and I'd like to say big thanks to those who had done them so fine. So here is one happy FBSD user who thinks someone has done good work. And please, don't take this message as a reason to start another flow of messages, I'm behind a 56K modem ;) @-`--,--`--- Jukka Simila To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
