You won't see this step anywhere. A shutdown now is not the equivalent of a boot to single user mode. The whole point in the reboot is testing your kernel before you do the installworld. > 6 # make installworld > 7 # mergemaster -i > > these are what i am following now. > > i see you are recommending i use the "traditional way." do you think > it will aleviate my problems? Probably not but it works just fine if you haven't done a cvsup of src-all. The accepted method is then what you have listed but with a boot instead of a shutdown. Most signal errors in compiles are hardware errors. Kent > > -Sameer/usr/ports/net/rsync > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
