So running my sample CVSup supfile would not patch my system for the security advisories from SA-03:08 - SA-0318(as of 10/19/03)? I'm under the impression this supfile would take care of security advisories, being that I'm updating the /usr directory. For everything to take in effect I must build and install my kernel as well? I'm looking through the FreeBSD Handbook and I don't
see this extra step.


Thank You

If you are wanting to do binary updates then "FreeBSD Update" might be what your looking for. It can be found at http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/

Grez..


Thanks everyone for your help. I manage to do a source upgrade. I did not know if it would be this involved. Updating the
source was simple, but a little tedious. I never thought I would be compiling so many different things, which made me a little
hesitate at first.


Graham, thank for the info on the binary update. This is exactly the kind of tool I wanted. For a second there I thought my supfile
would do a binary update.


Thank You
Alden Louis-Pierre
