How do I recover from this? "make world" doesn't always result in a working system, which is why the procedure in UPDATING has many more steps (but which should be safe[r]). You haven't provided an error message as to what happens when you try to cvsup; what happens when you try? For that matter, you haven't told us which version of FreeBSD you are running and what branch of the sources you were building world with... > Please tell me I don't have to reinstall from scratch. Oh, it's absolutely certain that you could recover in other ways, but it also might be the case that doing a clean reinstall is faster than any of these alternatives. -- -Chuck
