Hello
I am a bit confused and could someone help me get this cleared up.
My goal is to have the most reacent pached up netbsd1.6 release at this
point and i also want to have sources for the libraries available so that
they can be used for debuging purposes. I will be needing to rebuild the
kernel from the source to reconfigure it. I will also need to be able to
upgrade to 1.7 with the least hastle.
Now my question is this. The files in ftp.netbsd.org/pub/netbsd-1.6 are
they the same as /netbsd-release-1.6 ? Where can i download the latest 1.6
version of sources and binaries ?
The netbsd-current from what i understand is what is going to become 1.7
My system is not in use just now and since i be putting in different
hardrive i think i will just install everything fresh. What should i do
download the sources for current and build them or is it safe to use the 1.6
as it was released that i still have on CD ?
how is cvs come into play here. from what i understand it is only for the
current branch.
