That's because if you've built world from RELENG_4 *is* 4.2-STABLE. Changing 4.2-STABLE in the sysinstall options to 4.2-RELEASE should fix the problem. I don't think that it stores the info there anywhere and you need to do it each time you run sysinstall. If you're only adding packages, try pkg_add -r. - jim -- - jim mock - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
