However, I'd like to comment you that I found a tricky part when issuing make installworld because I had my /tmp partition mounted with the option "noexec". That made make command prevent installing the new system. When I turned that option off from /etc/fstab and remounted the /tmp partition, then installworld worked as a charm. Could be a nice addition to section 24.7.5 a note with a text like "make sure that your /tmp partition allows executing programs or /etc/fstab does not disallow executing programs" ? Thank you for your work & merry xmas! -- _________________________________________________________________ Fry: You can see how I lived before I met you. Bender: You lived before you met me?!
