Just to defend Thomas's use/interpretation of terminology for the context that he specified up front: source based. QUOTE of dropped material from the original message: . . . make buildworld KERNCONF=FBSD15 make kernel KERNCONF=FBSD15 make installkernel KERNCONF=FBSD15 reboot etcupdate -p -> fails make installworld KERNCONF=FBSD15 etcupdate -B -> fails . . . END QUOTE So the "upgrade" to 15-STABLE involved 2 "install" operations for this source-based context. That illustrates that, for this sort of context, FreeBSD does not well maintain an upgrade vs. install terminological distinction. > What did you use prior to etcupdate? When was /etc last updated? === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
