Hi, I only have a 4.9 cd and to upgrade to 4.10 or later versions, first, I install the sources from my 4.9 cd and then I use cvsup. Same as with FreeBSD Handbook and Ports.
Question:
In upgrading to a higher version of FreeBSD(e.g; 4.9 to 4.10) using cvsup, and I burned the contents of my upgraded /usr/src to a cd, if my system crashes, will makeworld work if I copy the contents of the cd into a fresh /usr/src directory?
Same as with FreeBSD Documentation(/usr/doc/en...) and /usr/ports.
I never had any problems with that.
Uli.
Or does it always have to be done as is?
...because one time, my freebsd crashed and I really had a hard time fixing it and I end up re-installing the whole system and running a very long cvsup process again.
Hope you could help me...
Thanks -jay
