Your question actually belongs on freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, which is where I've sent a copy for you. :) If your system is 2.2.2 and you upgrade to 2.2.5-Stable kernel sources, you may introduce conflicts between your kernel and userland programs. If you use ipfw, 2.2.2 systems are not compatible with 2.2.5 kernels at all for example. You would be much better off upgrading the whole system to 2.2.5-Stable. Also, if you don't upgrade often you can avoid having to set up cvsup by getting your sources at the snapshot server, releng22.freebsd.org. If you need help upgrading via make world, please take a look at http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html. I've rewritten the "Upgrading from source" page that's on www.freebsd.org to include more recent information. If you have console access, you could also use the floppy/sysinstall method of upgrading, like what you or someone did to install FreeBSD. Either way, good luck, :) Doug
