My thanks to all who put me on the right track. I got several suggestions that 'make world' sometimes doesn't. I needed to do an 'make includes' first, then the 'make world' ran fine (after 40+hrs on my poor 'lil 486 box). Thanks again. I also had the problem with the default router 'breaking' after one particular cvsup this past week. I was suddendly getting the messages about writing to a socket/file that already exists. I jimmied the code in 'rc.networks' to avoid that (or so I thought) and later cvsups during this weekend seemed to fix the problem (Julian's route chgs?). Fortunate I have other machines at home that I can talk to the world on. It's tough when your little beast suddenly doesn't want to talk to the world. I've been so please with cvsup and all that I tried doing one for 'ports-all'. Basically I added that collection to the stable-supfile in my previous message. What it seemed to do when it got to the ports, was delete loads of files. After it was done I tried making some of the ports and found the many seemed to missing the 'Makefile'. Hmmmm. My mistake again? Did I miss something stupid/obvious? My 'workaround' was to just tar.gz the ports dir down to my machine and untar it over /usr/ports. Most things work now. On another front, I'm almost ready to get a new MB/CPU and was really thinging about the AMD K6 200 or 233. I'm interested in Tom's HD Page review of the FIC PA-2007, but of course no store in San Diego has ever heard of First International or sells FIC. My next best choice *WAS* the ABIT IT5H, but following the NG's and this list, it would seem that I'd be better off waiting for 1.6/1.7/2.0 or whatever has the switching VR, and fixed other problems. Then there's ASUS and TYAN and ... I'd like to configure the bestest, fastest, stablest, coolest, parity/ECC motherboard/CPU combo that is best for various 32-bit OSes like NT and FreeBSD for under $800 or so. As I understand it, Pentiums and K5's are 'optimized' for 16 bit OS and PPro/K6 a run 32 bit better. True? I know there are price reductions in the works from Intel, but they are still pretty pricey and I sure thought the K6 was a more affordable alternative. I guess you get what you pay for (or not). Any comments? At this point I'd decided it would be best to hold off for another month or two and watch the prices and check the ng's for progress. God I love FreeBSD and FreeBSDers. Nothing like it in the galaxy! Marty
