Hi, I am new to FreeBSD and recently completed my first build/installworld. Everything went fine, except after running mergemaster it seems I have a directory which I am unable to delete - /var/tmp/temproot. When I searched the mailing lists I found a thread relating to this problem but it did not say how to fix it. The problem directory as I'm sure you all know is /var/tmp/temproot/var/empty. I have tried running mergemaster again and tried deleting it from within there. I have also tried: # chflags noschg empty/ chflags: empty/: Operation not permitted chflags: empty/: Operation not permitted # chmod -R 0700 empty/ chmod: empty/: Operation not permitted Please could someone point me in the right direction with this. Regards, David
