I install a clean 4.10-Release from ftp. I install cvsupdate without gui. I create my cvsupdate file in etc and run cvsupdate. then per instructions from the website # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot You should boot in single user mode (using boot -s from loader prompt for example). Then run: # mergemaster -p # make installworld ====== I cvsup to releng_4_10. the first hiccup comes with mergemaster as there are new accounts created for pf. thats fine. I just merge the new accounts. the second hiccup comes with the first invocation of make installworld. It dies telling me there is no hints file. So I copy GENERIC.hints to /boot and rerun. Then after a lot of work, make installworld dies with a core dump. And, now I have a completely unusable system. Everything is does with the same error -- my binary and kernel and libs our completely out of sync. I made two changes to make.conf (set usa resident, set noprofile). my cvsufile is below. where am I going wrong? ------------------- *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix *default tag=RELENG_4_10 *default tag=. ports-all tag=. src-all tag=. ----------------- -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
