The new way (buildworld, buildkernel etc) is different, and you must boot the new kernel to safely and reliably install the new world. The instructions in the handbook are very explicit in this regard. It is the only supported method of updating your system from source, as it is the only method that is tested. While some variations work, they may create unforeseen problems. -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3D73 AF47 D448 C5CA 88B4 0DCF 849C 1C33 3C48 2CDC _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your FREE email, calendar, file storage, bookmarks, and other great services at http://www.doneasy.com ! doneasy.com "Where timesaving is priceless!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
