We only support updating to 4.0-RELEASE (not 4.0-STABLE) from the most recent previous release, which is 3.4 (although, having said that 3.1 might work if you tried it, or it might just screw up the system :-) The instructions are in the /usr/src/UPDATING file in the 4.0-RELEASE source tree which include how to solve the install-info problem. Make sure you follow them *THOROUGHLY* if you want your system to work at the end of it :-) Kris ---- In God we Trust -- all others must submit an X.509 certificate. -- Charles Forsythe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
