But I'm no great shakes on Makefiles. At the very end of the installworld, after completely the makewhatis and /etc stuff, I got the message that I should not be doing a make world: WARNING: make world will overwrite your existing FreeBSD installation without also building and installing a new kernel. This can be dangerous. Please read the handbook, 'Rebuilding world', for how to upgrade your system. Define DESTDIR to where you want to install FreeBSD, including /, to override this warning and proceed as usual. You may get the historical 'make world' behavior by defining HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD. You should understand the implications before doing this. Bailing out now... But I had not done a 'make world'. I did the standard sequence with a re-boot after installkernal, a mergemaster -p, and installworld. Since this message is the second invocation of "world:" in Makefile, I suspect it needs to be worked on a bit. FWIW, I was updating from 5.3-Stable of last Wednesday to -Stable of last evening (to get Nate's ACPI patches). -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
