There will also be some changes in /etc (which you'll find in > /usr/src/etc/) which you will have to include manually. Were do I get cvsup? I've got cvs but I don't see cvsup anywere in /usr/ports or in the sysinstall package lists. What does it do? Can I just update /usr/src and make world without cvsup? After I make world, do I need to rebuild the kernel again? And lastly, why does nothing come up when I search the FreeBSD handbook and FAQ for 'upgrade'? IMHO, it should at least have couple lines that talk about /usr/src, make world, and friends. Thanks! -- -Zenin zenin@best.com
