Did I cause more harm then good? Should I have rebooted between patches/builds? How can I fix? 1) Please wrap your lines at 70 characters so your mails may be easily read. 2) Doing the above commands with no error checking is a very bad idea. If buildworld fails, you'll go on to install the partly-built world (which will also fail at some point), leaving your system in an inconsistent state. This might not have caused your problems with cat, but it's nonetheless a recipe for disaster. Please do the following commands for me: whereis cat ls -l /bin/cat file /bin/cat Kris --x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/jbk5Wry0BWjoQKURAkjLAJ9IrU7SdKvDa9P8YpuIDrSGRDe2kwCglKW0 i7YDkQB3qzwbGcKo1Yk3cfQ= =EkU9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn--
