The /etc/make.conf contains PERL_VER=5.8.7 and PERL_VERSION=5.8.7. Is it possible, do you think, to use a FreeSBIE CD maybe to clean out everything on my harddrive but my /home/kyrre where all my important files are, and then reinstall the latest FreeBSD without reformatting? It might be risky, let's say I hit the wrong switch and it does format everything, but you get my point right? To just lay a new FreeBSD on top of an empty harddrive? I hope this is possible somehow ... Well, take care Don! -- Kyrre
