Uh, bad idea. :-) If I remember correctly, you cannot update the system within "one rush" if you don't use the binary update with the freebsd-update utility. According to your script > cd /usr/src && \ > make buildworld && \ > make buildkernel && \ seems to be okay up to this point, but > make installworld && \ > make installkernel && \ is not recommended to be done in MUM. Refer to the corresponding section of the handbook: Build world and kernel first, then install the new kernel and reboot the system into SUM with it; then run "mergemaster -p", install the world and run "mergemaster". I think "make delete-old" comes afterwards. But I think you can update the jails camel and box as you described. The handbook will tell you more precisely what to do. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0
