Hi,
 
I'm in the process of setting up a new FreeBSD-current
box, starting with 3.0 Release, and moving to current.
One question I have, is whether to go to the ELF kernel
before I recompile the world with current source.
 
 
My plan is as follows:
- Load 3.0-RELEASE (done)
- archive and delete all a.out tools (done)
- update to the new bootblocks (done)
- move to ELF kernel
- CVSup to current
- rebuild the world
- come up on current
 
I have tarred up all the a.out libraries and tools, to
try and make sure that I don't install anything that
depends on a.out.  Hopefully, I will not have to go
back on that!
 
Apart from the comments in src/UPDATING,
Peter Wemm's ELF day web page, and Robert
Nordiers page on the new bootblocks, can anyone
think of anything I should take into account?
 
regards,
Geoff (hoping to be hacking again soon!)
