Given your past experiences with cvsup/mergemaster, if you're planning a major upgrade (from 4.6 to 5.x or even STABLE), are you sure you wouldn't be better off re-installing? > *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 this will get you the head of the FreeBSD-STABLE branch - if you just want to get all the security updates to 4.6, you should use RELENG_4_6 -- David Fleck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You also have to installkernel before you boot to single user mode.
KERNCONF is in caps. If you include your KERNCONF parameters in /etc/
make.conf. You can simply "make kernel".

I am one of the people that think ports-all shouldn't be updated at the
same frequency as src-all. The reason is that updating ports is most
easily accomplished using portupgrade. This requires that you update
/usr/ports/INDEX and INDEX.db with every cvsup or ports-all. I update
INDEX and INDEX.db on a fast machine and ftp the INDEXes to the slower
machines. I use 2 scripts. One updates the INDEXes and the other
doesn't. I run the one that doesn't on the slower machines.

CVSUP howto ???
I was looking aroung trying to find a decent howto on CVSUP...seeing as
ive never had good luck with it .. i found this ...does this look like the
right procedure ??
this is what ive been doing ...but ive only had it actually work one time
..all other systems ive done this on,,,it has failed BADLY
hence cant do "ps" or "w" or other needed commands
Create /usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/supfile:
*default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
then let cvs run in crontab and get all the new src...
then did:
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel kernconf={kern conf name}
(optional--boot into single user mode)
make installworld
mergemaster -p
please help ...as i need to update a whole bunch of systems because of the
latest cert releases...
thanx
