Hi. I upgraded to current. Actually, it was more like an installation than an upgrade. Which brings me to my question. Is there anything I can do to the Makefile to have 'make world' go ahead and overwrite /etc and /var, or whatever the protected directories are. In this case, I really had no customization files, so I just did cp -rp /var/tmp/root/etc /. I would like to just have the 'make' do this so I don't have to go through building the dummy root etc. Thanks to every one for the advice I received here during this installation. Greg
