Is /usr/src/UPDATING synonymous to 'the correct updating procedure'?
Yes, /usr/src/UPDATING does describe the correct updating procedure.
If you follow that procedure you should not have any problems with missing
groups.
Look under COMMON ITEMS at the end of /usr/src/UPDATING.
Right, thanks.
And finally, is it really necessary to reboot after 'mergemaster -p'?
Lately I've skipped that step with no adverse side-effects, saves me one
reboot :-)
It is sometimes necessary to reboot with the new kernel to have
'make installworld' work correctly (and the recommended procedure is to
reboot into single user mode *before* running 'mergemaster -p' (which in
turn is to be done before 'make installworld').
Correct, I forgot since I hadn't been doing it in a while
(so much for reading the handbook...).
But how do I know when it's necessary?
Or should I just reboot twice no matter what?
Thanks,
Lars.
