I'd just like to add something like this before Peter's check that runs sh: @OSRELDATE=`sysctl -n kern.osreldate`; \ if [ $$OSRELDATE -lt 500043 ]; then \ echo "The kernel you are running does not support the executables you are about to install!"; \ echo "You need to install a new kernel and reboot before doing an installworld."; \ echo "If you have already installed a new kernel, perhaps your loader configuration"; \ echo "needs to be updated to reflect the fact that kernels are now installed below"; \ echo "the /boot directory (not in the root directory."; \ exit 1; \ fi > P.S. Nice to see you're still in the FreeBSD business. :-) Actually I'm /only/ in the FreeBSD business. I've been concentrating on getting a FreeBSD based product ready for release. I'm at the second prototype stage and things are looking promising. The SCO vs IBM case is a reminder of why I chose *BSD in the first place. I'm a bit embarrassed that I haven't contributed more in the last year or so. At some point I'll need to upgrade the product to 5.X, so I need to start working in that direction. While I'm getting a current machine up and running I'd like to sort out the uprade issues while I'm still prepared to trash the install. Peter's grim reaper email is a regular reminder. I think I'm up to number 11. Hehehehe. -- John Birrell
