However, I found this in > /usr/ports/UPDATING: > > 20070206: It applies, but I think someone who installs qemu now isn't supposed to read UPDATING all the way back to February 2007. In fact, for fresh installs you should not have to read UPDATING _at_ _all_. Important information like this should be in the manual page, and -- as Rick pointed out -- the failure mode is pathetic. It should print a useful error message right at the start instead of randomly failing later. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
