freebsd-update problems
I ran freebsd-update to update my 8.1-RELEASE system to 8.3-RELEASE (freebsd-update -r 8.3-RELEASE upgrade). It downloaded a bunch of files, asked me to edit some configuration files, showed me long lists of files that have been changed, added and removed, and then ended with no status or error indications. The problem is that there appears to be absolutely NO change in my system that I can find. I have checked /etc, /bin, and /lib with 'ls -lct | head', but there are no files that have changed recently. The /var/db/freebsd-update directory has over 500MB of files it downloaded. Does anybody have any suggestions on what might have happened and what can be done? -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hello Carl, What does # uname -a or # uname -r output says? It still shows 8.1, but another poster just pointed out that I hadn't installed my upgrade. I need to read the man pages more carefully.
