Perhaps I wasn’t clear - I meant that only the build machine (the builder employing WITH_META_MODE) should be upgraded infrequently. The operating systems on consumer machines can and should be reinstalled or upgraded as often as needed, without any restrictions. To fully utilize META_MODE, you should avoid frequent reinstalls or reissues of make install on the build machine. Marekhome | help
