If you must do it through sources, you've got to upgrade to 3.5-STABLE first, then CVSup the RELENG_4 sources. After you get the new sources completely memorize /usr/src/UPDATING. it has procedures for crossing the 3-stable to 4-stable boundary. send questions to questions@freebsd.org after you've read everything. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Reynolds Chandler Capabilities Engineering, CDS, Intel Corporation jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com My opinions are mine, not Intel's.
