If it is _really_ broken (and not pilot error), just wait for it to get fixed and try again. You still have your old system purring along just fine. What SUCKS is when you manage to get through a make-world without an error, but the running system is broken. /That/ is something to whine about. (And you just want to slug that first one that says, "Just use the backups you made before the make-world." I do backup first, but restoring is still a non-trivial pain in the *ss. And if you didn't backup, especially a production system, you asked for it, bub.) -- Crist J.
