'make kernel' is equivalent to 'make buildkernel + installkernel', just like 'make world' is equivalent to 'make buildworld + installworld'. The latter can be dangerous, but the former usually isn't. One process is: [csup, etc.] make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel [reboot single user] [mergemaster -p if necessary] make installworld mergemaster [reboot] [ports or other stuff] If you wish, the 'make buildkernel' + 'make installkernel' can be replaced with 'make kernel', which does them both in sequence with one command. -- greg byshenk - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Leiden, NL ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: can I do 6.1-RELEASE to 6.2 via cvsup
Yep: 1. make buildworld 2. make buildkernel (add KERNCONF=mykernel to /etc/make.conf) 3. mergemaster -p 4. make installkernel 5. shutdown -r now and boot into single user 6. mount -a (if /usr/src and /usr/obj resides on their own partitions) 7. mergemaster 8. make installworld 9. reboot I usually omit 5 and 6 because most of the time it works fine. Please don't recommend skipping 5 and 6. While it almost always works (and I have done it in the past and probably will again), it is very dangerous. You have a new userland and the new kernel won't work. you boot kernel.old. You now have a new userland and an old kernel. This can leave you totally hosed if changes in userland require features in the new kernel and not the old. While this can be recovered, it is time consuming and tedious. If you are not fairly familiar with how things work in FreeBSD, it may be hopeless. Also, the list of things to do is a bit mis-ordered and truncated.
