The results were, well, not good :( I had thought it might no longer be possible to bootstrap from NetBSD. Is there some instructions I'm missing outside of mounting the FreeBSD source tree on /usr/src, creating /usr/obj and running: make -m /usr/src/share/mk buildworld ??? I was able to get some milage out of it, but had some problems with mtree. I found removing -lmd from the mtree Makefile allowed the build to progress for the first two or three times mtree gets built, but finally fails with linker errors on attempting to find MD5File. - Bruce ______________________ Bruce M.
