It's not the end of the world. There is a sane, logical explanation why you can't build the system.

If you really want help, then please spare us the (in my opinion) unsupported, unwarranted rhetoric about why FreeBSD is not for you. The helpful people of this list don't deserve this, and you don't deserve the flames such inflammatory material can start. > I certainly am going to. Ultimately, this is your choise to make, of course. We can't force to use something that you don't like. Before that happens, I'd like to see at least the following though: - Your cvsupfile - The error messages you get. The URL in the previous paragraphs that is supposed to show the errors, is not fetchable: $ cd /tmp $ fetch http://www.home.no/hedhnta/result.txt fetch: http://www.home.no/hedhnta/result.txt: Not Found $
