I think setting up a jail and installing to a mounted disk of a different machine or for dual booting is rather similar. You might have missed the 'make -C etc distribution DESTDIR=$D' step while mergemaster relies on etc being populated already. FYI: When _updating_ a jail one has to replace the 'make -C etc distribution' step with a 'mergemaster -D $D' run. Following the setup instructions a second time will clobber your configuration. And since we are at it: the "P4 world on a PIII machine" problem could have been resolved this way, too -- by mounting the disk in a build machine and installing world with the DESTDIR variable onto it to put the disk back afterwards into the PIII. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig_at_gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.Received on Thu May 01 2003 - 01:19:04 UTC
