Are the upgrade notes (referenced above) the notes associated on the openbsd page for upgrading say, from 5.8 to 5.9? I noticed there are a significant number of patches that require a kernel rebuild. Can I apply all patches and then do one kernel compile at the end? If I go this route, I assume I need to apply/compile all the patches that do not require a kernel compile, then do the one kernel compile last? I usually just install the patches as they come out (usually don't have 25 to do), hence why I'm asking. I'm currently compiling patch #2, and would like to avoid a very lengthy process. DDclient: sysmerge stated I needed to check the config file. I noticed that the user may be different from original user (I have to check this) but I consider this a minor item I can deal with in a few days. Reboot will take care of short-term issues, if any... Many thanks for answering my questions. Jay
