Description Brian Candler 2001-03-05 17:20:05 UTC

UPGRADE.TXT says:
 Those interested in an upgrade method that allows more flexibility and
 sophistication should take a look at the "Upgrading FreeBSD from source"
 tutorial found at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html

However I cannot find this document there, nor at
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/

Dear Brian Chandler,

The (rather extensive) "tutorial" you are looking for is found in=20
Chap. XIX of the handbook, which chapter, as well as the entire=20
handbook, is also available online at=20
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html=20

As is avalaible free extensive help on the part of FreeBSD users :-)

By the way, the handbook is mentioned at=20
http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html=20



Somebody (with commit power) might probably specify the correct link=20
in UPGRADE.TXT before FreeBSD-4.3 is out ? =09

Best regards,
Salvo
