chflags -R noschg /var/empty 2006/5/3, Martin Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello everyone, When BETA4 was released, I installed it on a very old machine of mine, and tried doing a binary upgrade from 6.0-RELEASE to 6.1-BETA4. I got an error almost immediately that it failed to write because it couldn't chmod var/empty (due to the schg flag being set). I also had other problems which in retrospect were likely pilot error. Around that time, a bunch of other stuff came up and I let the matter drop. I just binary upgraded my 6.1-BETA4 installation to 6.1-RC2 and ran into the same thing. I was able to work around it by using the holographic shell to chflags /var/empty so that the installer could write to it, which it does when I retry the install. BTW - I am doing a custom distribution set including base, doc, games, info, man, and the GENERIC kernel. Everything else I install from either a local cvsup mirror or a package build machine. Has anyone else seen this? I can't rule out pilot error here.
