Hello. 2012/05/30 07:02:11 -0400 Thomas Mueller <mueller23@insightbb.com> => To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org : TM> I installed FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 to this partition, mounted now as /BETA1, but might want to upgrade this to 10-CURRENT. Shouldn't you just chroot /BETA1? Newer FreeBSD world should be able to do the basic stuff, e. g., buildkernel, even with the kernel from the past branch. Then you can just boot your 10-current kernel and build your ports within that partition mounted as /. TM> There might have been some characters in your name that xterm couldn't understand; I need something better (mlterm?) xterm works for me in my mutt under tmux, ask me if you need to tweak locale ( I see his L char with the '/' over it in place, and the cyrilic letters in my other mail, too ) mlterm is better for asian languages; it's unlikely that European ones should be shown better in mlterm rather than in xterm. -- Peter Vereshagin <peter@vereshagin.org> (http://vereshagin.org) pgp: A0E26627
