Like in: ===> usr.bin/file install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 magic magic.mgc /usr/src/usr.bin/file/../../ contrib/file/magic.mime magic.mime.mgc /R/usr/share/misc install: magic.mgc: No such file or directory Being bloody optimistic I had already blanked the CDRW :( As soon as I get make release running again I will try your suggestion using 'more'.
