Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right: ??? go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup ??? issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile ??? once finished, then go to: /usr/src ??? enter the commands: There are some nicer ways to do this. Check http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/ for my make.conf, release-supfile and ports-supfile for examples. You can copy these three files into your /etc directory, and using the make.conf file, you can now just 'cd /usr/src' and then issue a 'make update'. Your make.conf flags will tell CVSup what to do. Make sure you edit the three files carefully, as you'll want to specify a local CVSup server *and* you'll want to make sure the make.conf flags are correct. Remember that whenever you run 'make', the commands in make.conf are passed as options to the make command. That means if you have'WITHOUT_X11=true' in your make.conf file, that will get passed to every single port build you perform. If you already have a make.conf file you might want to just copy out the MASTER_ lines and all of the SUP lines (including PORTSSUPFILE) and put them into your own make.conf. make buildworld KERNCONF=yourkernelname (for name, look to config file found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/) Just 'make buildworld' is fine here. You don't need to specify a kernel name when issuing a buildworld. make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname (look to / ) make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname reboot You can do a 'make buildworld' and a 'make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernel' while you're booted into multi-user (ie normal) FreeBSD. You can even install the kernel from here before rebooting, but after you've built the two, you should switch to single user mode and then run: make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname make installworld Then follow with: mergemaster -p ? *snip* reboot So basically: o update from cvs # cd /usr/src # make update o build world/kernel in your normal or single-user mode # cd /usr/obj # rm -rf * # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL o install kernel/world in single user mode # reboot [ Choose single User Mode ] # cd /usr/src # make installkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL # make installworld o run mergemaster -p # mergemaster -p o reboot # reboot It's fairly straight-forward once you get the gist :) -- Adam Smith Hummm, after that all i reconsider if i did the rigth thing ??

This error occurs at the install of a package. Where is that debug screen ? and what means error 1 exactly ? Any help welcome. You're using sysinstall(8) to install some packages. An error has occurred. Now, if you're actually using sysinstall to install the system, you can hit Alt-F2 to switch to an alternate console where there should be a load of debug output which will hopefully tell you exactly what went wrong. On the other hand, if you're just running sysinstall(8) from the command line as a system admin tool, then that output is not actually accessible. In this case, using 'pkg_add' directly from the command line will give you a better idea of what's going on: # pkg_add -r pkgname If you can't work out what the package name should be, take a look at http://www.freshports.org/ the 'port details' screen very helpfully tells you exactly what to type.
