Only if you mirror the CVS repository. But you probably don't. > "make world" in the > /usr/src? Should I compile the kernel before make world? This depends on your present FreeBSD version. Occasionally dramatic changes happen (like /dev/sd* -> /dev/da*) if you monitor volatile stuff like -CURRENT. :) However there is a src/UPDATING file that should be read. With a fairly modern FreeBSD indeed I would suggest make buildworld (drop to single user mode) make installworld (build new kernel) reboot Better keep boot and fixit disks ready, if you never did this. Then backup and keep old kernels around. Regards, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
