You can CVSup directly to 2.2.7. To CVSup to 2.2.7-RELEASE as opposed to the latest SNAP of 2.2.7 you want a control file something like this: *default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2_7_RELEASE *default delete use-rel-suffix # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. *default compress src-all To get the crypto sources use a second control file like so: *default host=cvsup.internat.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2_7_RELEASE *default delete use-rel-suffix # If your network link is a T1 or faster, comment out the following line. *default compress ## The international secure collections. src-crypto src-eBones src-secure Once you've got those files set up somewhere, just 'cvsup supfile' as root. I'd reccomend closely following the tutorial on 'making the world your own'. http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html If you run ipfw, be particularly careful not to get yourself into a position where your ipfw executable is from a different OS version than your kernel as they are incompatible, and you will be unable to open any holes in your firewall which can make it rather difficult to proceed. Probably best to use IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT while you upgrade and then recompile your kernel to remove it once things are working properly.
