Greetings,
I'm glad I saw Eugene's admendment first.
My upgrade from 3.4-Stable to 4.0-Current went
relatively okay yesterday. Thanks to both Eugene
and John.
I have to add that I need to manually install /sbin/mknod
first too. If not, the "sh MAKEDEV all" won't work.
I just went to src/sbin/mknod/ and did a make install there.
I have to admit that the upgrade is pretty scary, and it
involves a long downtime. Took me almost 5 hours from
cvsup to the second reboot. Another 2 to "make world"
again just to make sure. ( good tip, thanks )
Now rebuilding XFree86. And possibly a few other apps,
like libgtop.
Regards,
/calvin
