The third beta of FreeBSD 7.0 has been released. I cannot seem to find any information on changes between the second beta and this one. Additionally, the release schedule doesn't even list a third beta.

"Isn't it "make installworld" and "make buildkernel" ?"
Not exactly. Following the recommended update procedure, its
# make buildworld buildkernel
first, then
# make installkernel
followet by a restart and boot -s to start with the new kernel in single user mode, and then
# make installworld
to complete the installation.
Refer to the FreeBSD handbook because I didn't mention mergemaster, KERNCONF etc. here.
While the build* target may fail without any impact on the system, the install* ones can, allthough after "make installkernel" you can reboot with your previous kernel (kernel.old). If "make installworld" fails... good luck. :-)
