I installed every linux port and created a backup of /usr/compat using tar. Then I untarred from the oldest to the lastest linux_base version. I hoped doing that I should have backward compat .... I can't remember the failure anymore. I ran out of time and fun... But it simply didn't work ... but actually it should ... Had the feeling some utility (ld ? really can't remember) was pissed to be fooled by me ;-) Andreas /// --=20 Andreas Klemm - Powered by FreeBSD Need a magic printfilter today ? http://www.apsfilter.org/ Songs from our band >> 64Bits << http://members.aol.com/II64BitsII/ Inofficial band pages with add-on stuff http://www.apsfilter.org/64bits.ht= ml --2fHTh5uZTiUOsy+g Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Weitere Infos: siehe http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE79LB8d3o+lGxvbLoRAmILAJ9EA3xaE7t2BiC/BG29A7gzRRozmgCgoaWU jGjvPM9tXOhckh2LA0Ri3/s= =MN/z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2fHTh5uZTiUOsy+g-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
