-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I got lucky I guess, at least I think I did. No errors were reported. But know that I've done the intallworld, should I go back and do the buildkernel to synch up my kernel with my system? Or I'm I OK to leave things where it is now? The only thing left to do is to do mergemaster.
