I ran the patch process exactly as listed in the advisory. I'm currently

It seems that 4.9 is rapidly on its way to becoming RELEASE, which is a good
thing. I'm currently running 4.8-p3 on my production server, and I don't
have a spare to build then move over, so it will be an in place upgrade.
Which upgrade path would be the best? CVS or installing from a binary ISO

dvd::rip doesn't work with them if PERLIO isn't set.

You can deinstall the x11/xorg metaport. (Or, pkg_delete -x xorg.)

Judging by your uname output, the #0 should be #1 if it's reading a re-

KERNCONF for make buildkernel and make installkernel.
For example, I recompiled my kernel and note the output:

I found a more elegant way of doing this, thanks to google on my 7.3 system. I
added:

/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg
to rc.conf and rebooted (I couldn't shutdown to single user then exit as I
