First, regarding the buildworld failure: yup, you probably missed some sources. Or, you forgot to set up /etc/make.conf properly. If you've never touched make.conf, buildworld assumes you have all sources. Since you downloaded only some of them, buildworld will eventually try to build something for which you do not have the sources. Using /etc/defaults/make.conf as a reference, setup make.conf to only build the stuff you think you need. Second, regarding the status of your upgrade: my guess is that you're running a 4.10 kernel, and a partially 4.10 world. Check it out by running programs that interact closely with the kernel. ps(1) and top(1) are such programs. If they act "weird", you probably still haven't quite managed to upgrade. -Henrik W Lund ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is an incomplete set. Take a look at the extensive documentation in the FreeBSD Handbook on how to update your FreeBSD sources and recompile them to update your system.
