Did you mount the new drive properly (i.e. have you verified that you are building the same sources that you CVSUPed)? In general, I would carefully look for user error here first. * Make sure your supfile says RELENG_4 and not RELENG_4_4 * Ensure that the cvsup process completed successfully * Make sure each of the various "make" processes completed properly etc, etc You may also want to make sure you're not using a mirror site that's completely out of date. I don't know of any mirrors that are that far out of date, but it's a possibility. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
