Howdy, I needed an up to date set of instructions that I could refer people to that explains in detail how to do a make world upgrade. I started with the current page on www.freebsd.org, and rewrote parts and added parts, and I think what I've come up with is pretty solid. I also added some small scripts I've written that greatly ease the process of upgrading the various files in /etc and other places from /usr/src/etc. If anyone would like to examine what I've got, I'd be very interested in hearing from you. The page is at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html. There is a mailto: tag for me at the very end of the page. Of course, if the project is interested in incorporating any of my stuff into what's there now, I would be happy to oblige, just let me know what I need to do (or just rip the page :). One word of warning, HTML is not my strong suit, so although I think it's pretty clean, please be merciful about any errors in that area. I am very interested in comments regarding the content however, since whether anyone outside my group uses it or not, there are people depending on it (till someone comes up with something better :). Happy holidays, Doug
