I have to admit, I like working boot images more :-) (Since I only have an emulator and not the real thing, I don't have the need to physically transfer the stuff.) > On the other hand it might be instructive/interesting/whatever to > apply the 42 updates manually - just be sure to read the instructions > that come with each one :) Hmm, I just did this now, but I have to admit, I only browsed the instructions of most of them. I followed the instructions of 412/413 because I feared I'd forget to update init before rebooting the new kernel. But otherwise I applied all patches to 442, and then rebuilt the kernel, rebooted, and did "make build; make installsrc". Seemed to work. I noticed 2 patches, which patched /usr/src/sys/GENERIC/Makefile, but this is a generated file I think. At least it wasn't present, because I removed /usr/src/sys/GENERIC. regards, chris
