I have freebsd 4.6 release and I am interesting to update it to 4.7 via CVSUP The box is located 3000 Kms away and I can only connect via ssh. a) How much space is required in order to make a buildworld (downloading CVSUP, compiling, installing) b) What is the best failsafe method, so in case I do this and happen to have an error, my system will continue to operate on the 4.6? As I said I am too far away to go to fix it there... c) Can somebody point me or give me a sample CVSUP configuration for updating to the 4.7 release? d) Are there any tips for remote updates/buildworld? I know that is not suggested but I find too difficult to live with all the critical bugs that 4.6 has and I would like to get rid of them. e) Do I have to compile only a kernel on 4.7 or to make a buildworld too for the new binaries to be replaced? If I compile only a 4.7 kernel and my binaries are 4.6 will this poses any trouble? Thanks in advance guys!
