Well, the 3.4-stable version of UPDATING (cvs version id 1.14.2.5) is effectivly empty. According to the "COMMON ITEMS" sections of the -current version of UPDATING (cvs version id 1.69) says: To update from 3.x to 4.0 stable -------------------------------- make world And that's not just plain false. On the other hand, everybody who wants to use -current should subscribe to freebsd-current, read the archives of that mailing list and -current's UPDATING. The upgrade from 3.4 to -current has been discussed and there were several postings containing instructions for this upgrade. John Baldwin's message <200002101835.NAA81587@server.baldwin.cx> is a good starting point, the replies to his message contain some other valuable hints. I've managed to upgrade my 3.4-stable system to 4.0-current by following his advice. /s/Udo -- Booze is the answer. I don't remember the question.
