From the bit you quoted in your first post: ---------- Define DESTDIR to where you want to install FreeBSD, including /, to override this warning and proceed as usual.

You should understand the implications before doing this. ---------- Tells you right there how to work around this warning. -- Freddie Cash, LPIC-2 CCNT CCLP Network Support Technician School District 73 (250) 377-HELP [377-4357] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
