Steve,
Have you looked at the notes in /usr/src/Makefile?
Also a thought: since you're dealing with a production machine, would it
be easier to build an updated duplicate and migrate information to the
new machine? Then you have not left in the cold should something go
wrong. You can then duplicate the process on the production machine and
you have two up-to-date systems.

Hi
I have a 4.3 BSD machine to upgrade, and it's a production machine :(
On a test machine I have learned to CVSUP. I have used sysinstall and played
around with the "upgrade" potion of the menu. I have configured, built and
installed the kernel a few times.
Ok, got that, but how do I upgrade?
I am probably missing the point, but do I have to CVSUP, sysinstall/upgrade,
AND build-install the kernel?
I looked at "makeworld" in the handbook but it read like the instructions to
building a house! Surely it's not a complicated as it looks?
Anyway, suggestions, links etc all gratefully received.
TIA
Steve
