Re: I just installed openbsd 3.4 and I think I bit off more than I can chew

[Erik Wilson <Erik.Wilson@NAU.EDU>]

Step 1:
    Get "src.tar.gz" and "sys.tar.gz" from 
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/
Step 2:
    Install these using tar, eg: "tar xzf src.tar.gz -C /usr/src; tar 
xzf sys.tar.gz -C /usr/src"
Step 3:
    Download tepatche and uncompress, edit the tepatche.conf file to 
reflect your version of
    openBSD (3.4) and the architecture that you are using (i386 is 
default), run "make" to install,
    also do "touch /var/db/tepatche/statusfile"
Step 4:
    Run tepatche (in /usr/local/sbin/tepatche), eventually it will fail 
trying to patch XF4, this is OK
Step 5:
    Perform the Step 2 listed in "man release" or at
    
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=release&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html

and that should be it... let me know if you have any problems with this 
process...
