Joshua, Thanks for your answers. > It sounds like your src tree needs to be cleaned up (# rm -rf /usr/src/*) is this safe to do? do I clean up it before 'upgrading' to my 4.2 CD? perhaps safer to rename it first? > and that you should read the Handbook chapter on using cvsup, write > yourself a src-supfile, or use one of the examples, and then follow the > well-documented procedure for upgrading your system from source. I read the book, did a cvsup to 4.2 (hoping to overwite the 'new' stuff with the original stuff), tried make buildworld, same error. Today I rebooted with a 4.2 CD, did 'upgrade', but it refuses to upgrade /usr/src (as usual), now I can ssh to the host, but ftp does not work, I got: Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> ls 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||49153|) I now know how to get cvsup to work, but still I do not understand the difference between cvsup vs. buying a CD. Is buying a CD easier to upgrade to a new release? happy holidays, Zach
