I usually setup a system building script to automate things when I go out or to sleep. something along these lines... echo "cd /usr/sys; make clean && make buildworld && make buildkernel" > /root/makeme; chmod u+x /root/makeme then I would under rel_5 just type nice -n -20 /root/makeme under Rel_6 this gives a "incorrectly formed number error" more or less according the the man pages this should be valid as they basically give this as an example. Then with Dump... It seems to hit the fan with large filesystems, and this seems new to rel_6 at least in my experience. I can dump my root and var systems correctly but my usr file system never works, gives errors during restore, but comeplete the dump. I've been tarring things up lateley, probably will keep dumping to just the root system and tar var once I have websites on it. Brian
