People, I just made my 3.5-STABLE a 4.1.1-STABLE using the "elaborated cookbook from Engelschall" and all gone ok, except for that make installkernel part and other things that changed since 4.1-STABLE. ;) Cya Antonio .-===================================================================-. | Can't buy what I want because its FREE! - Pearl Jam | |-===================================================================-| | antonio@inf.ufsc.br | floripa@zoing.net | antonio@musicramp.com | |-===================================================================-| | ICQ# 9253680 | Floripa | MySQL | PHP | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | `-===================================================================-' On Tue, 10 Oct 2000, Kent Stewart wrote: > > > Darren Henderson wrote: > > > > > Hmm, I don't know why.
