By the way, file /etc/rc.conf did not exist in 2.1.0-RELEASE and was
completely (I think) maden during installation.
Was it more practical for me to remove old /etc (/usr/lib , other dirs)
before upgrade from 2.1 to 3.0?
Should I do it in future?
Does installation on existing system use (or consider) old configuration by
whatever manner?
I mean more close subsequence of versions than extreme case of 2.1->3.0 .
There were 2 lines in my file /etc/rc.conf :
ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib"
ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout
/usr/local/lib/aout"
After several advices in maillist freebsd-current I _move_ /usr/lib/compat to
ldconfig_paths_aout . Not copy because there are no ELF-files in my
/usr/lib/compat .
Is it OK?
Sorry for importunity.
