Hi. I currently have FreeBSD 4.11 installed, with IPF built into kernel, however its an old 3.x version, and I would like to upgrade to the latest 4.1.x version. I started with this last week and ran into many errors with the src, and building.
I then checked the mailing lists and saw that there were patches for FreeBSD 4.x for IPF 4.1.11. Which builds fine. My problem comes in with the kinstall script. It tries to patch various source files, and they all fail, or dont exist. I even looked at the patch-diffs myself, and saw they were comparing files from 95/96. So now, I would like to know, if I already have a kernel config with IPF built into it. What exactly would be the procedure to upgrading my IPF to 4.1.11 then? Cause the kinstall script just looks outdated and all the src files totally mismatch the patches.
