Re: New KERNCONF option
Yes, I'm sure that's it. Another problem with coming from the Linux world and getting used to the new way of doing things. The handbook suggested that the easiest way to cvsup was to use # pkg_add -f \ ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz So I did that. It had choices for what to load; I was only having trouble with kernel stuff (devices and networking), so I only checked that. Seemed quite logical, and the handbook doesn't say you can't. In fact the section of the handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html says quite explicitly that you can get only the parts you want. Might be a good clarification for the handbook that though it's a nice interface one isn't allowed to actually choose any old options after bringing it up. Anyway, I don't doubt that this is the problem. Thanks. Of course, if I'm going to do *that* then I probably want to take that "back everything up" a little more seriously. This is going to do like an entire system upgrade, right? Will it know how to preserve all the /etc files and all that that I've customized? I'm thinking that I'm walking into something a bit more complex than I had understood . . . Am I reading the wrong section of the handbook? Should I be reading something else entirely?
