Yes, but it should only have been the case on the 2nd install (2 of 3). After I copied the boot file from the installation directory to the ext2 partition I had created for booting from, I neglected to unmount the partition since I ASSumed OBSD would unmount all mounted filesystems during a halt. I forgot that iirc OpenBSD only unmounts mounted filesystems that are in fstab. I did remember to unmount it by the time the 3rd installation ran and perhaps that is why it didn't give me that message when I installed the same snapshot again. I don't know why it happened the first two times. Running on snapshot, I built a package for Mutt from ports and it took a very long time. I'd like to know how much of that is due to the slow console. Are you building with output redirection? At the end the package failed to install with the same library errors I listed before. However, make install seems to have worked. I haven't verified Mutt is working 100%, I'll do that later (now I am posting from another system). I'm building Emacs now and when it finishes I'll be able to verify Mutt works as it did on 5.1. Given there aren't too many Fuloongs around and we all have to build packages for the apps we want, is there any way to contribute packages we have built? -- _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) Please follow up to the mailing list against HTML e-mail X and proprietary / \ Mutt.org attachments Code Blue or Go Home!
