There are two issues. First, 5.2's install(1) uses a system call that doesn't exist in 5.1. Second, 5.1's install(1) uses a system call that does not exist in 5.2 unless you compiled your kernel with the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option. This is explained in UPDATING, which I assume you have read at least three times by now. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
