See /usr/src/UPDATING for details on this. Loosely: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNEL=your_kernel_name make installkernel KERNEL=yourkernel_name make installworld mergemaster The final two items should be done in single user mode followed by a reboot. And always check the UPDATING file for other possible steps/gotchas any time you cvsup. > My partitions are: > / 9G > /home 6G > /home1 5G > /usr 2G > /var 1G > swap 512M This is very odd! / is usually 50-100 MB. 9GB is MUCH bigger than is needed. I'd use that about 2 GB of that space to expand /usr, although 2G is probably adequate, it can fade fast if you build many ports. I'd put some in my /home and /home1 partitions, too. But this has nothing to do with the nlist error you are seeing. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
