Thanks Giorgos!!! I really appreciate your response. >1. Read the Handbook [upgrading from the source]. I found the Handbook: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ but I can't find the upgrading from the source section. Could you please point me in the right direction? >2. CVSup sources to RELENG_4_4 [security branch of 4.4-RELEASE version]. I found CVSup: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html & http://www.Google.com/search?q=freebsd+cvsup Is this the procedure to upgrade sources? http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html This seems a bit amorphous to me. Can you provide me with more detail? >3. Build and install new version. Is there a link for this procedure? Many thanks again! > >Giorgos.
