Re. the compat libs, there are COMPAT(1X|20|21|22|3X|4X) definitions in /etc/defaults/make.conf. I haven't come across any good documentation on these so which do I need to enable. I'm guessing that these are for compatibility with older versions of FreeBSD and if I'm not running anything from 3.x, and earlier, should I just enable COMPAT4X? I understand the primary purpose of the FreeBSD source tree is to create= releases but it would be nice to have documentation on the files that are obsoleted by this version (so that they may be more easily deleted).= Regards, Neil Darlow. -- 1024D/531F9048 1999-09-11 Neil Darlow GPG fingerprint =3D 359D B8FF 6273 6C32 BEAA 43F9 E579 E24A 531F 9048 On 7/19/01, 1:05:16 AM, User & Ian Patrick Thomas wrote: > I'm going to guess here, but there is a section in /etc/make.conf that= > asks if you wnat to install compat libs for 4x.
