I also read other sites like daemonnews.org and >related bsd sites for anything that could help me learn more. I haven't upgraded to 4.0 yet, so unfortunately I can't help with your problem... But, the reason you got snapped at is that the 'make world' 3.x -> 4.0 *problem* has been asked here about 465,294,312 times in the last two weeks. In each case, the answer has been to read the instructions in UPDATING. Anyone who has been *listening* on this list (or searched the archives) during the last two weeks knows this... I am not condoning anyone who got short with you (or with the next person who blindly does a 'make world' major update, and there *will* be a next person...), but simply as a point of advice: It really does pay to listen in here for a few days before you undertake any major upgrade--you can learn a lot! Good luck, and I hope you get your system back up soon, --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
