The problem is that Joe User's are using *this* target, even though we already have documentation that points them to a reliable set of steps for upgrading their systems. If you do not fix the target that they are actually typing in, then it does not matter how many more new targets that you add. And at least for now, a reliable set of steps must include a "reboot and check kernel" before installing the world. There is no way for `make' to do that. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Tue Jul 13 2004 - 23:56:53 UTC
