When you say packages are you referring to software? Make sure you install all the src code from your current version, if you did already you should have this directory /usr/src if you don't have it then you need to install them, you can use /stand/sysinstall for that. kitsune wrote: > Is it possible of of just upgrading kernels and the core stuff and using compat4x with make world? > >>From what I have read about make world it recompiles all the installed packages, or atleast I go the impression of that. > > On Sun, 06 Apr 2003 14:13:05 -0400 > "E.
