The correct way to update a FreeBSD system from source is, and has always¹ been 'make world' or 'make buildworld && make installworld' (the two forms are equivalent), followed by a manual (or automated, e.g. with the mergemaster port) update of the /etc directory. 'make' followed by 'make install' will *not* work. ¹ for as long as I've used FreeBSD, that is DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@flood.ping.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
