hmm ok, looks like with freebsd.

after a little more searching, i found this:

http://www.bsdtoday.com/2001/December/Features605.html

can someone tell me is that a clean and safe way to update ?

it looks ok, nearly same procedure like on freebsd.
only the lines:


# cd /usr/src
# make build

does this the whole build of the system binaries, like ls ... !?

i hope so ;) because it is not to difficult ;) so i can do it
without thinking to much.
