How to upgrade from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1.
- Replace the sources, that's /usr/include, /usr/man, and /usr/src, with
the 1.7.1 sources by extracting the SRC.nn images in the normal way.
(Don't forget to move or remove the 1.7.0 stuff.)
- There are two ways to continue. You can do the daring aproach and
type 'make install' in /usr/src to recompile everything, or you can
compile only the pieces you need right now to get a 1.7.1 kernel up.
1.7.1 compiled command should run under a 1.7.0 kernel, so there are
no problems there. Let's take the careful road:
- Move to /usr/src/lib and type 'make install'. You need new libraries
for the new kernel.
- In /usr/src/boot type 'make install'. The new kernel needs a new boot
monitor.
- In /usr/src/commands/simple type 'make bin /usr/bin/dd'. The next
step uses a new dd option.
- Customize /usr/include/minix/config.h to add or remove drivers. In
/usr/src/tools type 'make hdtest', or 'make fdboot'. Test the new
kernel.
- If the kernel works then go back to /usr/src/tools and type
'make bootable' to install a new boot monitor on the root partition.
- Next use 'make hdinstall' to install an new kernel image on the root
partition.
- Your system is now running 1.7.1. You can use 'make install' in
/usr/src to recompile the rest if you didn't do so already.
- Run 'checkhier' as root. It suggest commands to execute to fix
descrepancies in the top level directory tree.
- Compare all files in /usr/src/etc with those in /etc. Some have
changed and should be replaced. Be careful not to lose changes you
have made to files in /etc.
