After upgrading my FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE, I ended up with FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE and an empty /usr/local directory. It wiped out my /usr/local directory! I did nothing out of the usual on this upgrade. Any one experienced the same thing? How do I safely get /usr/local populated again? -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
