>From the box you want to upgrade: # cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui && make install # cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /root/mycvs Now edit /root/mycvs and set CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org to one of the sites from here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html # cvsup -g -L 2 /root/mycvs Go get a cup of coffee. If there are no errors, continue # cd /usr/src # make -j4 buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # make installworld # mergemaster Here you must read mergemaster carefully # shutdown -r now That's oversimplified, but that's it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
