Approximately, yes, I understand. I updated to elf without binary
snapshot.

But I took a method which is different above one.
I executed,

(1) % setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot"
(2) % setenv CVS_RSH ssh
(3) % cvs co -P src ; cd src
(4) Applied a patch for elf.
(5) % setenv USETOOLS yes
(6) % setenv USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN yes
(7) % setenv DESTDIR ...
(8) % setenv RELEASEDIR ...
(9) % make release
(10) Copy $RELEASEDIR/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC[SBC].gz to bootable
      HFS partition or FFS partition.
(11) reboot with new kernel.
(12) % cd src ; make install

fredb> Somebody has to be first! There are ports that haven't even switched

Does this mean upgrading from source?

fredb> yet. I predict folks will try it anyway, and ask for help. At least if
fredb> they see the procedure, they'll know not to just do a "make build".

Does this mean to support people who know nothing?

# I'm sorry, I don't understand well in detail, I'm good at
# speaking and reading and writing english.

fredb> It would also be weak to tell people to use a binary snapshot, when
fredb> "sysinstall" is known to be buggy (though the bug shouldn't affect

??? Does it relate between upgrading elf from a.out and sysinst?
