And it failed because "make world", not "make && make install" is the correct. Or "make buildworld" and then "make installworld". That it has not failed before is just luck. It doesn't even mean that your system is actually up to date. You also should update your kernel on a regular basis. Like, whenever you do a "make world". :-) Updating the kernel is *not* covered by the process you are (but shouldn't be) doing. Finally, /etc is also not covered. For this particular step, the port named "mergemaster" is highly recommended. The alternative is doing it by hand. All this information is on the handbook. The handbook is your friend, use it. -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) dcs@newsguy.com dcs@freebsd.org "What happened?" "It moved, sir!"
