It's= =20 the first time I've upgraded to a new os version with it (always used cvsup= /=20 make world & mergemaster before). All was going well until it came to merging the new & old conf files. I was= n't=20 quite sure what to do when asked to edit some of the files (it's not the sa= me=20 as mergemaster), so I did what I thought was best (having made a backup=20 of /etc first!) Anyway, once that was finished, it then showed me the resulting merged file= s=20 and asked if each one looked reasonable. I answered yes to the first one, b= ut=20 with the second file wasn't right, so I answered no - assuming it would giv= e=20 me the chance to edit the file again (like mergemaster does).=20 Instead it just dumped me back at the command prompt with no indication as = to=20 how to proceed from there. I tried running the freebsd-update install command again, but it said no=20 updates are available to install, run freebsd-update fetch first. Is there some way I can resume the upgrade process? Or do I need to do a=20 rollback and then fetch & update again?
