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?
