cvsup to get the latest security updates, then do your rebuilds. At 11:46 AM 11/18/2006, VeeJay wrote: Hello On a freshly installed FreeBSD System, what step should be taken first?

On What part of source do you intend to run cvsup? New Kernel should be run in order to provide binaries with system calls not available in old Kernel. Compiling something with new Kernel headers in place, this may be necessary in general. Most applications run nicely without upgrading Kernel, you can even switch back to an older one. Most of the time i "upgrade" by running a new kernel (for weeks :) at first, replacing system libs etc. afterwards. Armin -- PUBBOX Postmaster + spam-killer.

None if you don't want to update it. OTOH, if you want to do that, you should update the sources before building anything because whatever you build, it is built from sources. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You'd just be building the same kernel that you already have.
