I would not have known where to look for the commits, or I would have found it and not have had to ask this question. I think I'll rebuild all ports, and more, maybe I should make and keep packages in case I can't update to BETA3 in place. For now I will keep the BETA1 installation, use the ports tree from there, and portsnap fetch update instead of installing the ports from BETA2. I will delete and redo the partitions where I have the nonworking installation of NetBSD-current and install FreeBSD 9.0 BETA2 there, but keep the already existing /home partition. I had been daily browsing ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases, so I found BETA2 on Sep 2. I didn't even know which emailing list to use for beta releases, after much browsing found freebsd-current to be the best fit. Tom
