Hey everyone! I have a couple different questions, and I thought I would try them in the same email. First, I have been running FreeBSD for some years now, but never really had to update the source, because I usually could just rebuild the machine. Now that I have to, after I cvsup the src, are there any easy steps to take to update with the least amount of problems and downtime? I also am away from the machine, so I was wondering if I could do this remotely. I did read about make world, but what does that command actually do? Second, I would like to have a working backup of the server with all of its files over to another machine like a mirror. It doesn't have to be a live copy. Could update overnight. Has anyone got this to work successively, and if so with what program? Is rdist a good option for this? Please send any replies cc to bierblb@netins.net since I am not on the list. Thanks a lot in advance for your help! Brent Bierstedt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
