My mergemaster output was basically the contents of my /etc/make.conf file. I added NO_PF=3Dyo = (as suggested by the UPDATING file), and life was peachy. Some side questions... Is MergeMaster supposed to spew back endless supplies of configuration files I never touched? What is suggested, I just did an "I" for most options... Except the password and group files - hope that turns out OK. I've also noticed that I never rebuilt my kernel, and I noticed the "WARNING" in the UPDATING file too late about updating your kernel before running make installworld... Oops. Also, the output of my "uname -a" is this: FreeBSD bonkers.domain.com 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Oct 5 08:09:19 EDT 2004 root@bonkers.domain.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 ... So, 6.0-CURRENT!? I thought the latest was 5.3!! Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks, Ralph
