If this is how you feel, than (in this particular case) you can compare OpenBSD to Gentoo Linux. You type a magic sequence of magic commands and your system is up to date. The secret incantation is : sudo -s cd /usr export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs export VERS=OPENBSD_`uname -r | tr '.' '_'` cvs checkout -P -r${VERS} src cd src/sys/arch/`uname -m`/conf config GENERIC cd ../compile/GENERIC make clean make depend make make install reboot And there you have it. All you need is the compiler install set installed and sufficient space in /usr/src. If this magic sequence is too long for you, feel free to copy/paste them into a shell-script and execute that. Please note, that I've typed this without verifying every step. The process is not hard, pretty well documented, and you should be able to figure it out. And you may want to change little bits if you run on an SMP-capable machine. Good luck.
