Most other things work its mainly the make, whereis, vi, clear, fetch, ftp and other things that rely on make .... If i re-do the base system will that then cause the various ports i have running to need re-configuring.. e.g. dhcp, named httpd etc This sort of thing is really beyong my present knowledge lvl of BSD at present, so exscuse the dumb questions. -- Yours Sincerely Shinjii http://www.shinji.nq.nu
