Has anyone found a good review of DragonflyBSD v5.0?
I’d be interested in reading it.
Nice, could you update http://www.dragonflybsd.org front page, it still says 5.0.0, thanks. Trying to do it myself just gives message that it is locked, guess it is to limit scam.
I run 5.0.0. How can i update to 5.0.1?
Thomas – updated.

Upgrading is almost always the same procedure.
If it’s the same main release:
cd /usr/src
git pull
make buildkernel
make buildworld
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgrade
reboot
( after reboot if all is well )
cd /usr/src
make rescue
If moving to a new release:
cd /usr/src
git pull
git checkout DragonFly_RELEASE_$MAJOR_$MINOR
make buildkernel
make buildworld
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgrade
reboot
( after reboot if all is well )
cd /usr/src
make rescue
Actually it’s
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgrade
reboot
(note buildworld comes first)
So has anyone found a thorough review of Dfly 5.0 for us noobs to read?
