This was easy! Next, I got the new sources to compile but I had to blow away the current system's "/usr/include". This took about two days! Then, when I went to install the new binaries, everything blew up when the shared libraries were updated with: "ld.so failed" warnings. I was able to restore them from a backup so no harm was done. What is the suggested bootstrapping procedure here. I am currently running FreeBSD-2.0 from Walnut Creek CD-Rom. I believe that FreeBSD-stable is actually FreeBSD-2.1. Am I doing something really stupid? -OR- Is there a much easier way to accomplish what I am trying to do (Upgrade!)? | Marc V.
