This is a common misconception and, in cases of very limited disk space, may be true, it is rare. It is helped by the fact that the man page makes no mention of how to so this. (You do still need to build a new kernel if the update does, indeed, touch the kernel.) All you need is a GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC. You can either build it or download it. See the FreeBSD Handbook Section 23.2.3.1, “Custom Kernels with FreeBSD 9.X and Later” <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html#freebsd-update-custom-kernel-9x> for details on downloading a GENERIC kernel. Before any upgrade, major or minor, you might wat to re-reas that section. Once the GENERIC kernel is in /boot, you may use freebsd-update and, if the GENERIC kernel is not updated, you're good to go. If it is, you will need to build and install a new custom kernel and reboot. Since most security patches don't touch the kernel, this is usually not needed. I believe that the 10.3 kernel was last touched in p11. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
