I went ahead a did a fresh install to get rid of all the weird Thanks very much!

I've written Colin to ask his opinion. Can anyone else comment on the ccache/world interaction problem? This thread seems to indicate that some issues have been resolved: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-March/061839.html > dmesg, if you care: > real memory = 4294967296 (4096 MB) What branch were you tracking? I try to note that in both the dmesg and worldstone info. In the meantime, I've added your dmesg to the archive as u80_unknown_unknown. Terrific, Steven -- thanks for testing this! Royce -- Royce D.
