I have been having repeated difficulties in upgrading from 5.4 to 6.0. My problems start in the make buildworld step. The last successful compile step is: /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipf/libipf created for ./usr/src/sbin/ipf/libipf >From that point I get a series of cascading errors. I tried ignoring them, but could not successfully build the kernel. I have looked through documentation at your site, but could not find a resolulution. This is my only exposure to freebsd. I have several linux boxes at home that I use with no problems. At work I am a unix (Solaris 8) and application programmer under windows. These are the cascading errors: ===> sbin/ipf/ipf(obj) mkdir; /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipf/ipf: file exists *** Error code 1 stop in /usr/src/sbin/ipf/ipf. *** Error code 1 stop in /usr/src/sbin/ipf *** Error code 1 stop in /usr/src/sbin *** Error code 1 stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 stop in /usr/src I purchased my orginal Freebsd 5.3 disks from freebsdmall. I then successfully upgraded to 5.4 with no problems. I have been choosing cvsup4 as my source of the upgrades. Perhaps you can help. Thank you very much Alan Polinsky
