I keep a file called releng_3.sup in my root account directory that contains: # cat /root/releng_3.sup *default host=cvsup.de.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all src-crypto and I use cvsup on it, with a command like: # cvsup -g -L 2 ~/releng_3.sup to upgrade the sources every now and then. Once your /usr/src tree is updated [which takes about 10-15 minutes with my 28.8 Kbit/s modem], you can kill that PPP link, and use the sources fetched to upgrade the base-system. The commands I usually find handy are: # cd /usr/src # make world Note however, that you might prefer to boot the updated kernel before making the world. The whole procedure of building a custom kernel is described in the handbook, but if you have a config file ready, say one called MYKERNEL, you can almost always get away with: # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ # config MYKERNEL # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL # make depend # make # make install # reboot For more details on these two procedures, look at the handbook, at the following sections: Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel URL = http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html Synchronizing Source Trees over the Internet URL = http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html Using make world to rebuild your system URL = http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html Obtaining FreeBSD : CVSup Sites URL = http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors-cvsup.html Hope that helps. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
