Started with CVSUP, make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel rebooted to single user - so far so good. make installworld This failed with something in install-info. I'm not sure that this isn't something leftover in the CVS tree on my system or a bug, if nobody else sees it I'll assume something myfault. (Unfortunatly it scrolled off the screen as each makefile failed, and I can't remember the process to pile stderr to a file. Went with plan of attack two: build two disks with the feb 14 snapshot. ran out of space on / hmm... deleted all the old kernels around, since they shouldn't work anyway. 4 kernels and a few small misc files, and I'm stuck. Now I'll grant that / is not big on my system (30 meg? more then 20, not more then 35) but / then / shouldn't need to be big. I only used 68% of / before. /usr, /usr/local, and /var are different partitions with plenty of space. (also several non-OS partitions) Are files in / really that much bigger then 3.x? If so it should be documented since I'm sure I'm not the only one with a small / partition. Fortunatly I have a 1 gig partition that is completley unused, I'll spend some time tonight on my partition scheme and then retry the upgrade. -- Henry Miller henry_miller@storagetek.com StorageTek (612) 391 - 1271 www.storagetek.com INFORMATION made POWERFUL To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
