Which one of the handbook pages are you looking at? Well, anyway. This is what I did (Mind you, my way might have been the wrong way. This is my first time upgrading a FreeBSD installation, too). # cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /root/ - Edit the /root/stable-supfile file to use a mirror near you. # cvsup /root/stable-supfile # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL - Edit MYKERNEL to reflect your needs (You could remove some of the device drivers you dont need) # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=3DMYKERNEL # make installkernel # reboot Now, boot into single-user mode and # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot For more details, read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html On 5/9/06, John Cruz <cruzweb@gmail.com> wrote: > So I want to upgrade to 6.1, but I've never used cvsup before and all > the documentation is confusing as can be.
