Not only will you have problems with INDEX, but a lot of ports you want to (re)?build will have dependencies or libraries that don't exist in 6.4. (its not all that painful. build a 7.3/7.4 kernel with 6.x support, install it like 'make kernel KODIR=/boot/testkernel' nextboot -f testkernel (i think that is syntax) if it boots, follow instructions on rebuilding world and ports, make sure you put 7.3/4 kernel back on: make installkernel. if it doesn't boot, well, power cycle and it will boot your old 6.4 (but, ps, strange, I have a test machine still running 6.4 and I test ports on it. never had that issue) but the real answer is, upgrade so you don't have support problems. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell
