Setting NOAOUT in your /etc/make.conf or environment will prevent a `make world' from building the legacy aout bits (libs, rtld, lkms, boot blocks). I was tempted to say that now is a safe time to do this, however with C-day approaching, bear in mind that it is important to have a consistent user-land with your kernel. If you continue to run aout bins that rely on an aout shared libc, you _should_ rebuild that when you make things after C-day "just in case". Let's not create a bunch of support questions simply because you want to save time building world. The best way to save time building world is to not build world. Wait for R-day (release of 3.0) and build then. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
