<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Upgrading a FreeBSD system is relatively painless if the proper steps are followed. The standard way to upgrade a FreeBSD system is to update the source code to the new version then recompile the source and install. There are automatic commands for much of the process. <br /> <br /> In overview the steps are:<br /> *Backup important files<br /> *Update the system source code ([[cvsup]] over the internet or install source from a new CD)<br /> *Read [[UPDATING|/usr/src/UPDATING]] to look for any gotcha's or recent changes<br /> *Compile the source for the system except for the kernel (make buildworld)<br /> *Compile the source for the [[kernel]] ([[make buildkernel]])<br /> *Install any critical config files that have been updated (mergemaster -p)<br /> *Install the new kernel if it has built successfully (make installkernel)<br /> *Reboot to run the new kernel<br /> *Drop to [[single user mode]] (see [[init]])<br /> *Install the rest of the system (make installworld)<br /> *Update the config files ([[mergemaster]])<br /> <br /> [[Category:Common Tasks]]</div>
