I may be overreacting ;-) Is it Ok to say that after *recompiling* each port with "portupgrade -fa" on a 5.4 system updated to 6.0 old libraries will no be dangerous in a way that they would be used any longer? Should I remove the compat-options from the kernel before or after the recompilation of all ports? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
