I'm no expert on the source tree, but I would think that you might have an easier time of it if you backup up the system and reinstalled. If that seems terribly impractical, you might do better by stepping it. For example: 1) First upgrade to 3-STABLE. 2) Then upgrade to an early 4.x, such as 4.2-RELEASE 3) Then upgrade to 4-STABLE I do think you're going to have problems if you attempt the upgrade without upgrading perl as well. perl is used in many parts of the system in 4.x, if you don't upgrade it, you may not even be able to build 4.x, and if it does build and install, you may find many utilities don't work. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
