Question: I was running FreeBSD release 2.2.1, and to upgrade to 2.2.2 I did the following: 1) installed CVSup (statically linked version 15.0) 2) ran CVSup with the following supfile: *default tag=RELENG_2_2_2_RELEASE *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all cvs-crypto which downloaded all the new source files into /usr/src. 3) ran "make world" from /usr/src 4) after "make world" completed successfully (4 hrs), I recompiled my kernel (just for kicks; I didn't change any kernel options) 5) rebooted the box. Now I read the 2.2.2 release notes, and it says /etc/sysconfig was replaced by /etc/rc.conf, but I still have an /etc/sysconfig and no /etc/rc.conf. Also, I don't seem to have the new lchown() command. Am I really upgraded to 2.2.2? when I boot, it does say that it's running 2.2.2, but I wonder if it really is fully installed. Finally, do I have to do this entire 5 hr process every time I want to upgrade to a new release of FreeBSD?? all help appreciated. Andrew Zimmerman redzim@doitnow.com
