Although your machine is slow, it should be able to do the upgrade if you've successfully completed `make world' in the past. Since the machine is so slow, I guess you won't want to try repeating the upgrade too often. 8-) The aout buildworld appears to have completed, so you can do a `make installworld' to update your installed system to 3.0-BETA. Next, try building a current kernel and installing that. It would be wise to leave out soft updates. Once you have the installed system running 3.0-BETA-aout, try the aout-to-elf upgrade again (without deleting anything in the obj tree). This should restart at the elf buildworld step. It should work. 8-) -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
