Dumb question: You do build both world and kernel when you update your sources? And if it fails the way you do it, you fall back to the official method described in UPDATING before yelling "it's broken"? There must be a reason when a thousand answers are about how to update a system (and not just one part of it). > > I haven't had any trouble. > > > > How do you rebuild your system?

Just like "buildworld" and "installworld". Maybe you should try one safe run of the suggested form. Cutting corners is not very efficient when problems keep you from simply running your new system. :) virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
