Many issues have been resolved in the 5.x branch, especially in the last month or so. So, I would trust 5.3-beta7 (which should be appearing this weekend, I think) much more than 5.2.1. > I would rather downgrade to 5.1 (because I know it works > reliably on this piece of equipment), but unfortunately, > somewhere during "make installworld", the install binary > starts to segfault. We don't really support "compiling into a previous version". I can understand if you wanted to stick with 5.1, but if you are starting at 5.2.1 then you're probably going to have to install from the original 5.1 CD's. You are bound to run into problems trying to do build and install a 5.1 world from a 5.2 world, and we are not going to fix those problems because at least some of those fixes would have to be *in* the 5.1-world, and there is no way we are going to spend time on that instead of 5.3-(soon-to-be-)stable. -- 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 Sat Oct 02 2004 - 19:45:20 UTC
