Hi,

On a system i am running 2.0 and on another current.
(And on one 1.6 but let's not mention all)
To be honest, i like current better so i wish to move from 2.0 to current.
I thouht of this:

fetch the current source.
build.sh ...... tools
............... build
............... kernel=mykernel
(backup all config files of /etc)
replace rc.conf with a generic one.
reboot
build.sh ....... install=/
then fetch the etc.tgz the current sources of ftp.netbsd.org
and extract it in / (to replace all /etc, /etc/rc.d etc with the current 
onces. Should i do the same for /var (in which tar files is /var 
contained?). Then i have current running.
Would this be a feasible idea or not?

I thought about doing the whole stuff again, but i can't find bootdisks 
for netbsd-current anywhere.
Could build.sh .......... release help any in this to ease things or not?
Any hints?
Bye,

Mipam.
