Indeed. I've just committed what I hope is a clarification >to UPDATING to suggest buildworld buildkernel installkernel before >installworld. Oops. Sounds like I picked up the wrong idea of what was needed for this. Sorry if I created more confusion for anyone! I should note that what I actually did was I first did a normal upgrade to -current as of 11/11, and after that was all done I did a second upgrade to the up-to-date current. There was one problem in that src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c needed to be fixed to build the 11/11 snapshot, but other than that it worked out fine for me. My second upgrade would only cover a few days, so that's why I probably got away with doing things in the wrong order for that second upgrade... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Mon Nov 17 2003 - 15:41:40 UTC
