Hi guys I've been using FreeBSD as I learn it from scratch, I even downloaded it from the net some year and half ago since 2.2.2-RELEASE which was so stable and tolerated my noviceness very nicely. As I learn to do good, sometimes I learn to do BAD, One of the mistakes I did some eight months ago, that I learned how to use CVSUP, and I felt that I must be in heaven to be able to upgrade a full unix system over the net and for FREE. What happened is I upgraded to 3.0-Current (then), and there was a really annoying bug that remained with me whenever I reboot the machine using shutdown -r command, the system goes into PANIc, and next time I have to keep praying that nothing on the filesystems were FUCKED. Fortunately, I was able to discovery thaat hittinh CNRL-ALT-DEL combination did not panic neither that operating system nor me. Next I CVSUPED to 3.0-CURRENT recently as of few days, and I discovered that FreeBSD changed the binary format to ELF, so I read why they did that, and accepted the cause greatfully. When I try to compile the system either on an aout basis or elf basis, the compile fails. So I though to give some desperate email to this list in the hope that someone will have an answer for this problem. All I got was a single email from a very arrogant guy telling me in short to read the archives. I sent him a reply indicating that I have a slow connection to the net and I am trying to get the whole fucken archieve over to my machine so I can spend some year and half searching for the answer. Then I though man you are too stupid to run current, so I cvsuped 3.0-RELEASE in the hope that I so be stupid, and the system compiles. All hours of cvsupping went in vane, Current, and RELESAE both won't compile whatever I do, even to create some symbolic links or manipulating makefiles to bypass a glitchy area, but nothing still successful. ]Some NO-arrogant helpful user tryt to tell me why: Current is not compiling and giving "__error" unknown from text segment. ]Release is not compiling and giving "ld:" not found something .. until I get the HOLLY archieve and read it. I is worth noting that all the goodies in current-ports are not compiling too now. thanks in advance, and sorry for my nervousness. if my email address fails, try osiris2002@yahoo.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
