Hello all --
Can someone please advise me on the best way of upgrading a newly
installed-from-"restore"-cd 1.6 system to the latest patch release?
Is there any good reason not to do this for a production machine?
I have scoured the documentation to no avail; I get conflicting
information about building from source (1), and then told that it is a
binary upgrade using sysinst and building from source is not a good idea
at all. (2)
1 - http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/updating.html
2 - from any other architectures "INSTALL" document since we don't have
one.. for example see:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6.1/alpha/INSTALL.html#Upgrading%20a%20previously-installed%20NetBSD%20System
Alas there is not a sysinst tool on the cobalt port - so how do I do
it? And who else has upgraded? Any problems?
Chas
p.s. Many thanks to cdi for the installation media! Can we have a 1.6.1
iso please?
