Still I must disagree that /usr/src should be recreated upon deleting it, especially when upgrading from a CD set. The upgrade utility states that /usr/src exists and doesn't upgrade it at all, hence it's very hard, if not impossible, to buildworld. The cvsup should work though. cheers, Radoy -- Error FE6B - Nonexistent - This comment does not exist, and therefore you cannot read it. Please go away quietly.
