I've installed NetBSD V2.0 and now I want to update it
to V2.02. I also want to update PKGSRC.
The Guide says I can use cvs update -Pd for PKGSRC
while the install manual says to delete pkgsrc
altogether and download the entire package source
again.
I'm interested in the update method - does the update
method delete older versions or just write new ones,
or is it simply dependent on the name, etc? I'd
rather find out this way then risk a reinstall at this
point.
The upgrading of NetBSD is handled using sysinst,
correct? So if I used my own CD containing the NetBSD
V2.02 binaries and kernel and the pair of boot
floppies, all I have to do is select from the sysinst
menu "Upgrade..." correct?
THANKS IN ADVANCE... BZAG
