I think I've worked it out finally. I updated from 4.0-RELEASE to 4.2-STABLE using cvsup. src-all, ports-all and doc-all. But I have been wondering about this, because even if you do another cvsup on a daily basis, new files will be pulled down. I'd been thinking 'how can one do this - it would need a complete build every night!!!' Of course it doesn't - silly me. What it does mean is that even if one does a cvsup on a weekly basis say, then the _sources_ are always up to date, and IF one then needs to do an update/upgrade/kernel build whatever, then one is always using the latest sources. Now THAT makes sense. So I can go ahead an set up a cron job, that simply calls the cvsup/supfile say once a week. Everything works fine now. I had a brand new Acer keyboard - and it simply would not be recognised by the start up. Put in an "old" keyboard, and away it went no worries. I still haven't found out what the probelm is with the keyboard stuff, but I know I'm not the only one with this probelm !!! That needs looking into. but 4.2-STABLE is sure the bees knees. Now to find out how to bring my 2.2-SNAP server up to the same level !!! bc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
