I have what is proving to be a difficult challenge. My friend wants to start using FreeBSD. Unfortunately the latest disc I have is 4.3, and I don't have easy access to broadband, so obtaining a newer iso is unlikely in the near future. Well I've been gradually upgrading mine and it's currently using 5.2. So I figured I'd try the routine the handbook gives on upgrading multiple machines. I installed 4.3 on his, and then I made buildkernel and buildworld on mine, and copied /usr/src and /usr/obj to his. But when I try to install anything on his, make crashes immediately saying it made an invalid system call. In fact, I can try make buildworld and buildkernel and it does the same thing. I tried making other makefiles I found on the hard drive to test make, and it worked fine. Yet it crashes immediately for any targets in /usr/src. I really don't want to be defeated, so can anyone help a bandwidth handicapped FreeBSD fan? Many thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
