This would be a great resource, if it were sure to work. I am not anxious to go from 5.4-STABLE to 6.0 (not until it goes stable), but I tried to run through the preparatory steps as outlined on that page. I ran into a few concerns with steps 2 and 4: > freebsd-update -v IDS | tail +8 | grep . > /root/base-modified This resulted in an empty file for me... but perhaps that is as expected. When the suggested step is to "generate a list of files from the base system which have been locally modified", are we talking about a list of only binaries, or of _all_ locally modified files? While I've edited many configuration parameters, I certainly haven't modified any binary files. > cut -f 1 -d '$' /usr/local/freebsd-update/work/md5all | uniq | > while read X; do > if [ -f $X ]; then echo $X; fi; > done | sort > /root/base-old First, after installing freebsd-update according to the first step, I don't have a "work" directory (nor anything at all in that directory, for that matter). Should something exist in this path after installing the freebsd-update port? And second, how would one correctly execute this command string in bash? I got errors from both cut and while: cut: [-cf] list: illegal list value while: Expression Syntax.
