Actually, there is an even simpler way: If you already have started a buildworld and it has crashed on you then you alrady have libc built under /usr/obj. So you can just install that, (of course carefully) and than restart the buildworld with -DNOCLEAN. Will work from that point on. (Ripped from the underground bestseller: "Forbidden & Obscure ways of upgrading a FreeBSD system. Don't show this to a committer!") BTW: When the buildworld crashed, the console was left all hosed. Only grabage characters were generated, somehow even a break signal was sent (it surely wasn't me) so it dumped into DDB, but I could not do anything there either... weird. But maybe just coincidence. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
