I don't have time for the continued bugs in my system, I have _GOT_ to get this running pronto. The subscription to the gnome list seems to be hanging or lagging and my paranoia meter says that some people are doing this because crimeny the gnome list should have sent me at least 50 emails by now. Anyway. To my stupid question that is probably too stupid for hackers, but I am not subscribed to questions either I just can't tolerate that in my time frames It is hard enough letting the other lists go by. Oh. I should have tried to subscribe to that but I am under the.. GGGAAAAH fine. If I don't get that subscription notice by the time I finish this then I'm sending it. I suspect the composition should take a reasonable amount of time for that to happen. I did cvsup with the standard-supfile but I guess I used the one from freeBSD 6.2 and I thought it would be kosher to change the bit that said "RELENG_6_2" to "RELENG_7" so that's what I did. I used the ftp4.freebsd.org mirror and I did a cvsup. Then I did cvsup with the ports-supfile but that one had cvsup4.freebsd.org in it, so after that I was OMG and I changed the ftp4.freebsd.org in the standard-supfile and redid that cvsup. Anyway. THen I started following instructions in /usr/src/Makefile. My current professor runs FreeBSD and he suggested that method. It looks pretty similar to stuff I have seen elsewhwere, plus it was part of what cvsup slurped up that was supposed to be specific to my version, right? Anyway, here are the steps: IMPROVISATION: I did mergemaster -p here oops. (see below) make buildworld / make buildkernel make kernel <-| substituted for-< make installkernel reboot -s .. okay. This is where I guess I am basic? I don't think I used the loader prompt, I didn't use reboot -s hmm.. that probably would have been a good thing to type after # I guess I am really stupid. I did shutdown -r now and when the devil came up I pressed "4" Then I typed "mount -a" and then.. mergemaster -p and that is a ball of wax depicted here: http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inst_world/index.vhtml The same thing happened the first time I did mergemaster -p tells my spidey sense "oh oh." Anyway. Then I did make installworld and had a bad thing something about "make doesn't get it" but I fixed that by googling it. Oh here it is: http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inst_world/p5240176.vhtml anyway, don't worry too much about that I fixed it by doing: /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh -p and had the same trials and tribulation of hitting 1000 space bars at the right time with intercelated 1000 return keys (actually maybe more like 300 space bars and 200 return keys) and then, saints be praised, make installworld did some presumably nice things so then I did: make delete-old like /usr/src/Makefile said and OMFG I had to hit "y" 200 times now. mergemaster -U 300 more space bars 200 more return keys make delete-old-libs and now I have provided some pictures of what happens when I try to start up. I get to the devil and then it looks like http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250001.vhtml http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250002.vhtml http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250004.vhtml http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250005.vhtml I broke my gnome and my nessus which is the thing I absolute need pronto! I am not trying to be demanding I am just informing everybody that I am under pressure here and I have no idea what to google at this point. *----------------------------------------------------------* Kayven Riese, BSCS, MS (Physiology and Biophysics) (415) 902 5513 cellular http://kayve.net Webmaster http://ChessYoga.org *----------------------------------------------------------*
