If these seem like trivial questions please do not flame me, I have never attempted to do this before and do not want to damage a working system! As far as I have researched I need to perform the following actions: 1 get the up to date source (using one of the cvs tools) 2. make buildworld 3. make installworld 4. run mergemaster. 5. rebuild kernel ??????? 6. reboot (and pray!) is this correct or have I missed something out? I assume that the src from the updates are for the system only, and not any changes to any of the ports. Do I / can I keep the ports up to date also? or is this a bad idea? do I need to "clean" after the install to clear all the temporary files? thankyou for any advice you can offer. regards, Jon Paterson.
