Anyway now I want to make my changes to my GENERIC kernel so that I
don't have to do the world thing. So I already CVSup'ed the /usr/src

directory and use sysinstall to load on the /usr/src files? If I tell it
to go get it from ftp.freebsd.org, is it going to retrieve the latest
(so 4.10) source or will it retrieve my default 4.9 source? I am trying
to get a cd stuck in my box so that I can just do this off the CD, but
thier tech support is a bit slow... HA.
Heya,
The best thing for you to do is to just take the standard CVSup file from:-
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
Then update the following line:- *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_9
This should revert the source code to the 4.9 release -- and as a bonus all the security fixes for 4.9-RELEASE will be included as well. RELENG_4 will update you to the very latest code for FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE while RELENG_4_9 will update you to the latest patched code for 4.9-RELEASE.
When you update your system will be FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p99 (where 99 is the patch level which shows how many patches has been applied to 4.9-RELEASE) instead of just plain FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. You can verify this by running the `uname -a` command.
Regards, James
