Hi, 

from what I understand -current is bleeding edge, right ?

But what you're saying is: whatever release I use, I should use the
steps set out in the above document to keep my system up to date ?

Thank for this link. However I'm still a bit confused. I did update my
/usr/src/ using: cvs -q up -dPA -rnetbsd-2. So now I'm doing:

	cd /usr/src/
	./build.sh release kernel=NETBSD 
	(where NETBSD is my kernel file)

so then what, to install the whole new system:

	make installworld
(I see this doesn't install 'etc', how do I do that ?)

Then do I still have to move the kernel's 'netbsd' into / ? or is 
that done automagically ?

While I was writing all this the build managed to stumble over at:

dependall ===> host-mkdep

What do I do now ?

Thank you in advance
