From: Sheldon Hearn To: Robert Garrett Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: docs/13194: Bad info in handbook/kernelconfig Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 12:16:22 +0200 Hi Robert, Your text probably does more harm than good, and you're putting it in the wrong place. I would suggest that text like this would feel more comfortable under the "Why Build a Custom Kernel?" section. I'd just explain that recompiling the kernel does not upgrade FreeBSD, and see the section called "The Cutting Edge: FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD-stable" for more details on how to upgrade. Don't mention upgrading with sysinstall, because you usually run into problems if you try to upgrade to a later release using an installed copy of sysinstall. Ciao, Sheldon.
