I've dropped on the sysinstall from 4.7(per the docs). I run it as "/stand/sysinstall installUpgrade". When I get to the "Choose Installation Media" screen I go into Options to change the Release Name. Regardless of what I do on this screen, in fact even if I do nothing at all, when I press 'Q' to quit sysinstall exits, dropping right to the commandline. On the screen it says "chflags'ing old binaries - please wait". There doesn't seem to be anything about this in docs or list/newsgroup archives and I've tried a number of different things - making sure I'm root, perms on chflags, getting chflags from the 4.7 dist, even different term types and keyboards (hey - maybe there was some weird key bounce going on ;). I'm guessing PEBCAK but am not sure where to look. -- Randy (schultz@sgi.com) 715-726-2832 <*> The BeaSD Cometh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
