It really went very smoothly. Well done to all concerned. A few things that could make it a little easier: 1. I have a habit of doing the mergemaster stuff in a slightly different order. Any chance of updating pwd_mkdb and cap_mkdb in FreeBSD-5.4 to the FreeBSD-6 version? 2. In UPDATING, remind people to switch off the nvidia_load stuff in /boot/loader.conf (and any other exernally created modules), before first rebooting to the new kernel. Best Stephen
