Just didn't see that. In the meantime, I had a clean ISO-amd64 install going and have done a successful world & kernal builds/installs. Now, at least I have the confidence that I'll be able to do updates. Next step is to move over the non-sys content from the i386 server. Lots of trouble, but not much more than the crossbuild effort which has been futile thus far. At least I'm learning by "doing." Think I'll stick to this clean ISO install. Thanks for all the suggestions, fellows! The best, Jack _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.
