Thanx for pointing that out. To be honest, I never got that far in the File. I looked at the dates and when I thought nothing more could be relevant, I stopped. And I never noticed the small message next to warner's credentials, about the most essential part of standards of the updating. Note that the whole file is like 1500 lines, which is a lot to go thru. It'll sound like justifying myself but perhaps the lines on COMMON ITEMS should be the same layout as about 5.x performance. So there's a bigger chance that newbies (or lazies) get to see this part of the file. Or split the file in 2 parts: updating.actuals and updating.common On the other hand this part only suggest to mount the partitions of the system to be upgraded. Which would prevent some/all of the make snags. disavantage is that you have to mess around with make.conf. The handbook suggests NFS upgrading/updating the way I did it, which feels more natural. --WjWReceived on Thu Feb 12 2004 - 00:47:37 UTC
