I followed the usual upgrade instructions provided above. Everything built and installed smoothly. Before: %uname -rims FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE i386 GENERIC After: %uname -rims FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 GENERIC So all seems well. I won't mention ports here, I am just concerned with kernel and world for now. That said... YMMV, #include <disclaimer.h>, etc Regards, Adam J Richardson
