I'm trying to follow the instructions at <http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.4-to-6.0/>; At point four it offers this shell script. cut -f 1 -d '$' /usr/local/freebsd-update/work/md5all | uniq | while read X; do if [ -f $X ]; then echo $X; fi; done | sort > /root/base-old Running this from root shell in konsole (bash) I get "while: Expression Syntax". The various hints and clues I get from the shell, the web and man bash haven't helped me. Would someone provide the correct syntax for me? thanks malcolm
