This came up a couple of weeks ago. In that case, the file '[' was missing, and you need to make a link. The first iteration through the for loop will fail, because `which $prog` returns nothing - causing the whole thing to choke. This is why you see the cp usage message - effectively, it is trying to run "cp /tmp/install.54110", which does not have the right number of arguments. # ln /bin/test /bin/[ should do the trick. Rerun the installworld and it should work. Provided that was the problem... ;-) HTH Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3D73 AF47 D448 C5CA 88B4 0DCF 849C 1C33 3C48 2CDC _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
