Make installworld crashed in the middle of its process and left me with a system that had no libc.so.5. I have no "INSTALL"-related options in /etc/make.conf. >How-To-Repeat: 1. build world and install rescue so you can back out 2. fill / (perhaps with dd if=/dev/zero of=/deleteme) so it cannot hold another libc.so.5 copy 3. install world Depending on the exact amount of free space on / in step #2 and #3, you may not hit a problem with installing libc.so.5 but some other installation. to recover, use: /rescue/cp /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libc/libc.so.5 /lib >Fix: Let the installation for ESSENTIAL files use the -S flag so that there is always a usable copy of these files in place. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
