* alex@big.endian.de (Alexander Langer) noticed that I point at LINT,imp2000-07-191-2/+2

| | | | | | files and put it in my freebsd web area. Rewrite the entry in UPDATING to point to it the message and hopefully not confuse people like the old one did.
* Two entries:imp2000-07-131-0/+15
| | | | | | o Mark M has updated the random device to harvest entropy. Put instructions to tell people how to cope. o add entry about phk's malloc changes.
* Add warning about needing to set SYSDIR to build new kernels afterimp2000-07-071-0/+4
| | | | | | July 4th due to the new sys/modules/sound/drivers/* being added to the tree. You will need to do this until you do a make installworld with my bsd.kmod.mk change.

| | | | collection changes.

* Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build theimp2000-06-291-0/+7
| | | | | | | | system. Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting burned now that we need to say it is required. The actual message says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.
* Add warning about /dev/random disconnecting entropy for a few days whileimp2000-06-261-3/+9

| | | | | Scott Flatman <sf@arcanet.com> sent in a step by step buide to updating the config file. since he was first, he gets his name in lights :-)
* Missed one:imp2000-06-211-0/+5
| | | | | Per grog's suggestion, mention bde's symbol change to the kernel. It likely isn't a big deal, but should be noted in passing.
* I felt guilty:imp2000-06-211-2/+13
| | | | | | o add note about binutils 2.10 fixing the problems noted on 20000522. o Add some very brief text to the '612 entry on the config changes. A better howto would be warmly added to the file.
* Forgot about the bootblocks.imp2000-06-211-0/+5

* Note phk's axing of wd compat devices in -current.imp2000-06-211-0/+6

* o Make note of brandelf change (obrien)imp2000-05-041-9/+13
| | | | | o Make the ata warning less dire based on more experience. It seems that marginal disks cause more problems than that chipset singled out. (sos)
* Add information about the dangarous apollo MPV3 chipset. Severalimp2000-04-041-0/+12
| | | | | | people have suggested the workaround to me (use only PIO mode) and I've not seend a message saying ths was fixed. I'll removed the bold warning stars after the issue is corrected.
* Normally I don't put entries that should have been made months agoimp2000-03-281-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | into UPDATING. However, in this case I'm making an exception. I'm adding a recommendation that people update their boot blocks. Old boot blocks will cause a system to become unbootable if you have removed /dev/{,r}wd*. Submitted by: Jeroen Ruigrok/Asmodai <asmodai@freebsd.org>
* Add entry about the isa/pci shim issue.imp2000-03-231-4/+10

* Massive gut. We're not into 5.0 so remove all 4.x entries from thisimp2000-03-211-645/+11
| | | | | | | | file and start over. Also note that we're in the traditional whack-a-ball kernel model/api reorg for 5.0 and that one needs to be extra careful about making sure models and kernels are in sync.

|
* Add openssh and api changes.imp2000-03-071-0/+24

|
* Add 3.x -> 4.0 upgrade instructionsimp2000-02-221-3/+21
| | | | | | Make it plainer the kernel rebuild required point. I had thought these changes were already in.
* Enshrine my own personal tantrum to the whole xinstall fiasco.imp2000-02-071-1/+12
| | | | | Inspired by: reading too much -current and updating my laptop accross the great divide.
* Fix details of libipsec, per Jim Bloom.imp2000-02-061-1/+1
|
* Add libipsec shared version regression.imp2000-02-061-14/+22

| | | | Clarify xinstall instructions from bde
* Add a section at the end called COMMON ITEMS. This is where we'll putimp2000-01-301-1/+18
| | | | | | | those questions that come up all the time (eg, how do I build a kernel). This is intended to be a very brief reminder for people that are basically clueful what the steps are to do these common things. What it lacks in verbosity it makes up in terseness.
* Add info about burncd, c++ changes, the xinstall kludge as well asimp2000-01-301-1/+33
| | | | | | | correct the buidlworld typo every keeps teasing me about. I didn't ask Jordan if this was OK, but figured it fell under the documentation exception in his freeze mail.
