Now my problem I guess goes beyond my initial description - first I tried a cvsup of 3.3, then 3.1, then 3 stable - then I went back and installed from my cdroms 2.2.8 - I couldn't make world with any of them. Following your message I re-cvsuped 3-stable and tried following the instructions at http://www.ucb.crimea.ua/~ru/FreeBSD/30upgrade.html which I got off via a FreeBSD questions BBS. That didn't work either. All my trials error after about 300K. Now I've done so many make clean's, make upgrades, and make world's that I'm I wonder if I'm beyond help! What I now wonder is: where do I go from here? --- Lowell Gilbert <lowell@world.std.com> wrote: > Dave Banning <sky_tracker@yahoo.com> writes: > > > My initial FreeBSD running was 2.2.8 then I > > cvsup'ed 3.0.0 stable. - cvsup went fine - no > errors > > I did a "cd /usr/src" > > The term "3.0.0 stable" is confusing when applied to > a release.
