I am still failing to build a usable 'ncurses' library. Has anyone sorted this out? I suppose the problem might be in generating the dependencies or needing a newer 'make', but it reports as a compiler error in a file which identical with the version which compiles fine in RELENG_4_5. If I instead download the 4.6 CD images and make a CDROM, can I upgrade while preserving my configuration information? (Naturally I know the kernel would have some items I don't use, but I want to keep users, their directories, network setup, etc.) 'Handbook' and 'Complete FreeBSD' pointers welcome for the smoothest upgrade path. TIA. - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
