Hi! Nadav, First of all, I'm terribly sorry for this very late reply. I was completely immersed in an unexpected job and didn't have anytime to upgrade till this Monday. Finally, I did the upgrade using 'make world' : - removed the entire /usr/src directory - copied the /usr/src from CD 2. - make world - recompiled the kernel to suit my needs - installed compat_21 and nearly everything was OK. I did get some ld.so error messages libgnumalloc not found. It was there in /usr/libexec/compat (from memory I'm not really sure). I copied this to /usr/lib and all problems went away. Also I pkg_deleted (including Window manager fvwm) several programs and reinstalled them from 2.2 CD. Sofar everything is OK. xdm works fine. Thank you very much for all your advice and for the prompt reply. I really appreciate it. BTW, I'm yet to update my /etc directory (from 2.1.7). Still it has not given me any troubles though. Is it absolutely necessary to copy the /usr/src/etc to /etc ? I could not understand the purpose of Makefile and what it does in that dir. Any pointers in this direction is much appreciated as I like to learn something new.
