If something has broken again in the > past month or so, I'd like to know about it for my updating blurb. It has never been fixed, because it never has been implemented. Currently we use binaries we install. This means that during an installworld we can use 4.x binaries (sh or install for example) on a 3.x machine. This requires that a 4.x kernel is already runnin. The solution I have worked on (but didn't get properly tested in time for 4.0) was to copy the binaries we need during installworld to a save place and set PATH pointing to it. That way we never run any binaries from directories we're installing to and thus avoid running 4.x binaries on a 3.x machine. I have to redo it, because too much has probably been changed in the mean time... (of course 4.x and 3.x are just example versions; the problem is more generic) -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
