Hello everyone,
I've order and received the OpenBSD 3.9 disks. I've read through
the majority of the documentation at least once and two or three
times in certain sections. I've installed the OS about 4 times as dry
runs and I'm preparing for the final OS load for a production box.
After I've run the CD installation, I've created a task list for
upgrading
it to OpenBSD 3.9-stable (I'm not experienced enough for current
yet). I've decided I don't want build any ports and instead use
packages for adding third-party software.
This is the current task list I ran during the last install and it
works, but I know there is a bunch of stuff in there that relates to
ports and I want to strip that out.
# Install source tree from CD
mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
cd /usr/src; tar xzf /mnt/src.tar.gz
cd /usr; tar xzf /mnt/XF4.tar.gz
tar xzf /mnt/ports.tar.gz
umount /mnt
# Get updated source from OpenBSD CVS.
cd /usr/src
cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_3_9 -Pd
# Get updated ports from OpenBSD CVS.
cd /usr/ports
cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_3_9 -Pd
# Rebuilding the kernel
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config GENERIC
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
make clean && make depend && make
# Rebooting with the new kernel
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
cp /bsd /bsd.old
cp bsd /bsd
reboot
# Rebuilding the binaries
rm -rf /usr/obj/*
cd /usr/src
make obj
cd /usr/src/etc && env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs
cd /usr/src
make build
Now here is a list that I think strips out the stuff only applicable
to ports.
Could you tell me if I have indeed stripped all the ports stuff?
Also, and
more importantly, did I strip out something that I shouldn't have?
# Install source tree from CD
mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
cd /usr/src; tar xzf /mnt/src.tar.gz
cd /usr; tar xzf /mnt/XF4.tar.gz
umount /mnt
# Get updated source from OpenBSD CVS.
cd /usr/src
cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs -q up -rOPENBSD_3_9 -Pd
# Rebuilding the kernel
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config GENERIC
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
make clean && make depend && make
# Rebooting with the new kernel
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
cp /bsd /bsd.old
cp bsd /bsd
reboot
I hope I've done my due diligence in researching this before
bring it to the list. I pretty much understand what's going on
but something I just can't figure out.
Thanks in advance.
