10/5 I have FreeBSD 4.3 and want to upgrade to 4.6 using
/stand/sysinstall. apparently I need to have the version of
sysinstall built for 4.6...can I just download the sysinstall
binary? if so, from where? thanks.
\_ use the src, luke.
\_ shut up, you fucking nerd!
\_ Look, if you looked into any documentation on updating
FreeBSD, you would find that the /usr/src tree will let
you easily update to any post 4.0 version. Try thinking
particular attention to the mergemaster bits. -John
before jerking that knee.
\_ only those with knowledge deserve to have attitude.
Why don't you make yourself life eaiser by switch to
Windoze
\_ Perhaps this 'flame' wouldn't be so laughable if you'd
learn the fucking language, dumbass.
\_ Read up on how to update with CVSUP. Mail me if you have questions
--scotsman
\_ Don't forget to read /usr/src/README and UPDATING, paying
particular attention to the mergemaster bits. Also,
updating-via-cvsup knowledge has been scientifically drip-
squeezed from scotsman's head by our finest scientists and
collated at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1 \
books/handbook/cvsup.html --finest scientists
\_ use cvs to fetch the 4.6 src code, rebuild kernel and other system
binaries, then use cvs to update the port collection. There
is some sort of guide on http://www.freebsddiary.org or http://www.freebsdhelp.org
\_ Only slightly off topic: before going to 4.6.2 you should know that
4.7 is due "very soon now". It was supposed to be released Oct 1,
but they slipped a bit. Any day now for the final, final code.
\_ why not just run redhat? fuck this building from source crap |
