What relevancy does this have to sysinstall? Nothing during sysinstall touches src.conf. Every FreeBSD system will be missing /etc/src.conf after an install; the same goes for /etc/make.conf. It's normal. >> The message from /etc/rc.d/ldconfig you see there about 32-bit >> compatibility ldconfig path is fine -- it shows an empty path, which is >> correct.

No, do not blank them; they will not be used, as was shown to you by /etc/rc.d/ldconfig's output not utilising any 32-bit paths. There's no point in blanking something that won't get used, it'll just confuse someone who looks at the system or lead them astray. > There's also a /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1 left, with the same old date as > the libs, and a symlink from /usr/libexec/ld-elf32.so.1 pointing to it. > Should I leave them or remove them?

Otherwise upon removal, programs utilising ld-elf32.so.1, won't have a valid ld.so loader, and will fail immediately. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
