Along the same line is updating files in etc via mm and not rebuilding the rest of the system. Recent changes in pccard.conf.sample as an example. Can they make a difference, yes. Certainly if you are not sure what needs updating, then by all means build, install, merge, and remake devices every time,but don't forget about ports either. When libs change (libc_r on 3/22), it is a real good idea to rebuild everything including ports just in case. MySQL uses libc_r and I'd just built it too. 8-/ Jeff Mountin - jeff@mountin.net Systems/Network Administrator FreeBSD - the power to serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
