Basic starter questions ???
I installed OpenBSD 4.6 but i have several basic questions...
1. How to update OpenBSD ? On FreeBSD i use freebsd-update fetch but on OpenBSD don't know command ? 2. Don't have ports. On FreeBSD i use portsnap but on OpenBSD don't know what to use ? 3. Wireless driver is installed but on laptop i have power on and off button but not react when pressed. On linux was long time ago i don't remember i use some command to on and off wireless card but on OpenBSD again don't know. |

RE: Updating OpenBSD
You update OpenBSD by compiling source code. See http://www.openbsd.dk/stable.html Re: ports See http://www.openbsd.dk/faq/faq15.html Re: wireless I don't have any wireless gear. So somebody else has to fill you in on that

I get and extract port but how to update port with cvsup or something else ?
|
|
|||
Is there a way to patch system with cvsup and not work manually.
|
|

The developers do not recommend that beginners (..like yourself) use the ports tree, compiled packages are made available for you.
Work has begun on bringing back stable package updates, but if you insist on using the ports tree directly.. please study the FAQ. |
|
|||
If you are asking whether binary upgrades are available, the answer is no.
If you are asking something else, please elaborate. |

I think for this patch http://openbsd.org/errata46.html is there a way to patch this with cvsup or i must manual?
Sorry my mistake i think to update ports tree with cvsup because on ftp server is old ports. |

You were pointed yesterday to the pkg_add(1) manpage. There you will find information on the -u switch. Similar information can be found in Section 15.2.6 Those who compile ports themselves are expected to understand that updates will require updating the ports tree via CVSup or AnonCVS followed by rebuilding. Uninstalling the previous version may be required in some instances. It would be truly worth your time to study Section 15 which covers the package system. |

The ports tarball in pub/OpenBSD/4.6 includes whatever was available at the time of the release tagging, OPENBSD_4_6_BASE.
Security/stability updates for 4.6 (-STABLE) are currently only available in the CVS tree, up until recently stable ports had been discontinued, fortunately someone has stepped up and taken over the responsibility.. eventually updated packages will be made available on mirrors, but that's not ready yet. Updating the base system is only possible via source, no binaries are made available for this. Again, please study the FAQ. |
