Thanks, I hoped it would be so. Chapter 21 of the handbook is not entirely clear about this, it does seem to recommend dropping to single user mode before building... I'll try it without anyway :-) On Sun, 2003-08-31 at 10:50, Erik Trulsson wrote: > On Sun, Aug 31, 2003 at 10:20:12AM +0200, Guy

Hi Kent Thanks for your answers! I have one more question, the manual says to drop to single user mode before doing buildworld, do you do this. If I could avoid this, I could run buildworld during the night, and do installworld when it suits me during the daytime. Thank you very much Guy On Sat

Ah, I indeed forgot the system information. It is a P II 333 MHZ with 256 of RAM and an UDMA 33 HD (40 GB). Judging from your timings, this is going to take a while... Does buildworld and installworld always take equally long, even say only 10 files changed? Are there any pitfalls I should be aw

I did it just as you're proposing a few weeks ago. It took about 2 hours total on my PIII 500, NOT including port upgrades (which incidentally took about 30 hours for everything I have installed!). Don't forget to run "mergemaster" at the end; I think there were some changes between the two ver

How would I best upgrade my 5.0 installation to 5.1? I have done binary (CD-ROM) updates on 4.x in the past, but I was thinking this could be done using cvsup. Can anyone briefly say wheter this procedure would be right: - change default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_0 to RELENG_5_1 - cvsup the new so
