There could be problems with libraries, and stuff that is installed in a different order than the one ld (the dynamic linker) will attempt to load... but I havent found anything that has broken by upgrading without going into single-user moode (yet, the future might hold surprises for me). This is just a safety step. It's not mandatory, I think... > what is the meaning of chflag -R noschg Have you checked the manpage? You're asking a lot of questions, which is not necessarily bad, but it is a nice thing to have checked the documentation first. Some of the questions you've been asking the past few weeks/months (I don't remember exactly the time it all began) indicate that you don't take any time to look for documentation locally :P It's a pity on on a system like FreeBSD where effort is being constantly made to keep the manpages up to date and easy to understand, to avoid the manpages. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
