Dear users, I (last) cvupped -CURRENT on 6 March at about 11:00 pm GMT, and, with few (necessary) variations, I tried to follow the instructions in UPDATING on the next day. I *seem* to have upgraded to -CURRENT. FWIW, here is what I did: 1) /usr/src/make -j48 buildworld 2) /usr/src/sbin/mknod

Dear users, I forgot to specify another point in my first letter: "N.B. I am Italian and I chose MD5, discarding everything DES-related. I suppose this has automagically eliminated a few problems." I chose MD5 when installing FreeBSD-3.3-Release, whence I upgraded to -STABLE and finally to -CU
