Re: Can't mount cd9660 file system.
If you have doubts about your CD (but you probably shouldn't),
this should help:
iso_file="backup.iso"
blocksize=2048
## *** WARNING *** DVDs might be different *** WARNING ***
## Block size of ISO CDs. Nothing else will work (esp,in dd command).
blocks=$(( $(ls -l ${iso_file} | awk '{print $5;}') / ${blocksize} ))
bytes=$(( ${blocks} * ${blocksize} ))
if dd if=/dev/acd0 count=${blocks} bs=${blocksize} | diff - ${iso_file}; then
echo "NOTICE: Comparison OK. The CD seems OK."
else
echo "ERROR: The CD and file differred."

I've been having a similar problem, afaict since I moved my server to 5.2-RELEASE from 4.8-RELEASE and to a EPIA 5000 board (from a Pentium system). I've not had a disconnection while I've been actively using the connection but most connections that are left idle get disconnected after a while (seems to be around 10 to 15 minutes).

Re: ssh disconnecting [WAS: Getting Cut-Off]
Wayne, I would not suspect the hardware. My suspicion is this has something to do with SSH configuration. Is there a setting within the FreeBSD SSH configuration files that specifies disconnection of idle connections? I didn't think my connection was idle since file transfer was occuring, but since there was no activity in the SSH terminal window, I could see how that could be taken as 'idle'; at any rate, there must be a setting that specifies number of minutes for an idle connection, and/or a way of turning off automatic idle disconnects. A little help from the longbeards please?

There is a better performance include with a small root, since the start of the disk is faster then the end. Having a small root allow a faster boot and faster writes and read to swap file, since this is then closer to the start. I feel 256M would be appropriate.

/usr/src/UPDATING vs FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp
Hello, I've just (with cvsup) started upgrading one of my boxes in line with the recent advisory (FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp), and I'm at the point where I am reading /usr/src/UPDATING as per all recommendations from the HandBook to various user group advisories. However, I noticed that there is no mention of this specific advisory anywhere in UPDATING. So.., have I missed something? Here's what I did: - 1] "su" to root 2] cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup 3] Edit stable-supfile - changed "default_host" to read "*default host=cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org" 4] Ran "cvsup stable-supfile" Aren't details of this advisory (and others?) supposed to be in /usr/src/UPDATING? I only askbecause I'd not want to proceed from this point only to realise later on that the system *wasn't* patched after all. I'd appreciate some advice, or pointer to some change in procedure that I might have missed somewhere along the line, please. Thanks for the time.

Arrgh! My primary reason for suspecting hardware/drivers is that in my case, both the current and previous sshd configs were unchanged from the default install. A diff of the sshd_conf between my old and new servers were identical (apart from version comments). This suggests to me that unless 1) there has been a fundamental change in the default behaviour of sshd between 4.8 and 5.2, or 2) my previous setup wasn't working properly (ie. not doing idle disconnects when it should have been) then the cause must lie elsewhere. Additionally, I believe I have witnessed occasions on one of my LAN-connected machines when a ssh session *hasn't* disconnected when left idle for a lengthy period, further suggesting that it is not a configuration issue. Unfortunately I'm still at the stage of only being mostly certain about having witnessed uninterrupted connections. It would certainly help if someone could indicate whether ssh disconnections should be expected or not (on a LAN) with an unmodified sshd configuration.

As I am using the term, "window manager" is not an applet but a reference to whatever you happen to be using to control graphical window behavior on your desktop. It looks like your window manager is KDE (which also happens to provide other services so is called a "desktop environment" to denote these additional features). My window manager is called "blackbox" which has a simple menu configuration file where I can input a line for xterm and conveniently call it through an item on a neat little pull-up menu. For you I would suggest that you create a "shortcut" on your desktop. You'll need to check with the KDE documentation since I don't actually use it but it's probably as simple as right-clicking the desktop with your mouse and choosing "new" or something like that and then through "properties" type in the full command you want your new shortcut icon to invoke.

Normally the procedure would be to get the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppy images from the releng4.freebsd.org FTP server. Then you would put the images on floppy, boot from them, then install the latest snapshot over the Internet. These are usually pretty current. As a matter of fact, there is already a snap for 3/06. The problem is that releng4 appears to be down and the only mirrors I can find are heinously slow.

USB cameras - Xirlink IBM PC Camera/W9967CF
I have the following two cameras on-hand: kernel: ugen0: WINBOND W9967CF, rev 1.10/1.10, addr 3 kernel: ugen2: Xirlink IBM PC Camera, rev 0.01/0.02, addr 8 I can't find anything to support either of these cameras. Just wondering whether I've missed something obvious? It appears that the W9967CF is the chipset used in the Creative Webcam GO (the device I have does both webcam + single images - ie. can operate as a digital still camera). It looks like the Xirlink has had a driver written for Linux (ibmcam). Also the W996[87]CF. What USB (web-)cameras are recommended?

linux-opera with anti-alias
Has anyone succeeded to use the linux-opera port with anti-aliased fonts?

Re: New Users Learning FreeBSD
Chuck McManis wrote: To put it in perspective, the best way to start USING FreeBSD as opposed to acquiring it to develop with, is probably to by an Apple machine with OS-X installed. All the integration is handled for you. It pains me that there isn't an organization of Apple's caliber providing a complete FreeBSD workstation product that I could load on any machine with a simple install. Apple has some advantages when writing an OS to run on their own hardware; FreeBSD needs to deal with a much wider variation of hardware than Apple does in terms of both quality and complexity. I use both MacOS X and FreeBSD on a daily basis; they aren't the same OS nor do they make although knowledge of one is often useful on the other. OS X auto-defaults to installing everything into a single HFS+ partition, which is ideal only in the sense that such an installation avoids having the user make a decision about drive partitioning. That being said, my point is not to disagree with you so much as to say that if you think the FreeBSD install should behave differently, you've got the sources: make a few changes to streamline the process and see whether other people like them. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: segmentation fault - jdk4
I have been experiecing similar problems with 5.2.1. I noticed when compiling gnome2, which depends on a *lot* of other packages, gcc simply segfaults a lot. To solve it I just started compiling again, and the gcc would seg fault again. I continued typing make install a looot of time until everything was compiled. However when I compiled smaller projects like pico, bash etc., I had no problems. Maybe there is some kind of memory leek in the gcc 3.3 version on fbsd 5.2.1? I don't think I have a hardware problem either. Right now I am installing 4.9 on the box, since I found the gcc segfault behaviour unacceptable. I hope I wont experience the same kind of problems again...

Re: Questions regarding Sendmail on FreeBSD
Jason Williams wrote: I've been playing with Sendmail for a couple of weeks now and I feel pretty comfortable with it. Lately, what i've done is just download the source code for sendmail and build and compile as needed. It still works fine. There's nothing wrong with that approach, although if you keep up-to-date with the FreeBSD sources, you're going to get something which resembles sendmail.org releases very closely. However, I have some questions about how Sendmail comes setup default on a FreeBSD system. For instance, there are quite a few directories and locations of where sendmail items are located and im confused as to why everything is where it is and why there are duplicate files. For instance: mail# find / -type d -name sendmail -print /usr/libexec/sendmail This is the place where MTA-specific binaries go; see "man mailwrapper" for considerations about swapping in a different MTA like Postfix or qmail. /usr/share/sendmail This is where the installed cf files are kept for a system that does not have sources. /usr/src/contrib/sendmail /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/include/sendmail These are where the real sources are kept. /usr/src/etc/sendmail This is a template for /etc/mail which gets generated during the source build process. /usr/src/share/sendmail Source code repositiory for the cf files mentioned above. /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail This is a link to src/contrib/sendmail I'm a bit confused on why everything is spread out the way it is and was looking for some feedback to help me understand this more. For instance, if I was to install a patch (lets say the patch if you dont have 8.12.10) I would need to navigate to the source directory for the default sendmail on FreeBSD...where is that directory? /usr/src/contrib/sendmail -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi Ed, Where can I find "window manager"? From 'Control Center' ok KDE? # menu config menu: Command not found. # menuconfig menuconfig: Command not found Kindly advise. TIA B.R. Stephen Liu You probably can't. As I am using the term, "window manager" is not an applet but a reference to whatever you happen to be using to control graphical window behavior on your desktop. It looks like your window manager is KDE (which also happens to provide other services so is called a "desktop environment" to denote these additional features). My window manager is called "blackbox" which has a simple menu configuration file where I can input a line for xterm and conveniently call it through an item on a neat little pull-up menu. For you I would suggest that you create a "shortcut" on your desktop. You'll need to check with the KDE documentation since I don't actually use it but it's probably as simple as right-clicking the desktop with your mouse and choosing "new" or something like that and then through "properties" type in the full command you want your new shortcut icon to invoke. EB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" You can do this pretty easily in KDE- right click on the Panel, go to Add/Special Button/Non-KDE Application, which will open a file browser. navigate to the xterm binary, and then pass the options to it, in this case for fonts. You can also create a resource file to set the defaults for font sizes and others, then source it via xrdb . Most of the *term programs are all considered XTerm derivatives, so will honor their resource hints. I missed the start of this thread, but running a seriously 'heavy-weight' Window Manager/Desktop Environment like KDE and then a less resource intensive console seems a bit odd...but I'd suggest taking a look at aterm- it's a derivative of rxvt, less than half the footprint of xterm (which is less than half the size of 'konsole' already), supports transparency if that's your thing... A sample .Xresources (can be named anything, but needs to be sourced via .xinitrc or other X startup means), could look like: Xterm*loginShell: true XTerm*scrollBar: true XTerm*saveLines:1500 XTerm*background: black XTerm*foreground: white aterm*transparent: true aterm*transpscrollbar: true #aterm*tinting: light blue aterm*foreground: white aterm*shading: 40 They could actually be changed to: *term*loginShell: true *term*scrollBar: true etc etc and thus affect both XTerm and aterm both explicitly, but aterm in this case will still honor the XTerm* settings unless overridden via an equal aterm* setting. You can also set the default fonts and or sizes as well... Blackbox is pretty slick as a minimal WM, although I've got to say I never got Rox-Filer working as expected, one of the few things I begrudgingly miss from the KDE apps (konqueror, even if it is sort of a pig on resources). Blackbox does however, fix one of the only other issues of the 'desktop environments' (GNOME, KDE) that I've come to like- tabbed consoles. If Rox-Filer or another app could replace close to konqueror functionality, and perhaps offer a decent panel app (the slit is nice, but I don't like their pager/panel much), I'd likely be able to remove the KDE libs from all my systems happily ;-) Scott ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

To follow up - the reason for the UPDATING file and the layout of rebuilding your system is to guide users that are upgrading from 4.x to 5.x You will see vast changes in the way the kernel is handled in 5.x along with /dev However, reading that file explains this in detail. Simply moving from 4.9-RELEASE to 4.9-STABLE and the patches isn't considered a major upgrade. A simple rebuild of the kernel and a simple make world does work well in this instance. -- Best regards, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Doesn't sound promising. What's making it harder to diagnose is that there aren't any messages left anywhere but the client. According to sshd_config(5) the default LogLevel is INFO which should be enough to show up connection timeouts? Mind you, it's interesting that there isn't anything logged at all for the dropped connections, would've hoped that that might have rated an INFO level message of iteslf? (I do see messages from sshd in /var/log/messages - all failed logins). There aren't any messages relating to the network interface either, that I can see. Chuck suggested in another message to check the interface for errors. I can't see anything that looks untoward, maybe someone with a better understanding could cast their trained eye over my netstat output?

problem with Opera connecting to webserver on local network
Hi, I'm using a FreeBSD 4.9 machine to connect to an ADSL ethernet modem (using rl0). With a second NIC (rl1) it serves as a gateway for my other machines on the local network using natd. Works fine and as expected. A more detailed layout/config can be found at http://kayjay.xs4all.nl/connection . The machine also runs Apache 1.3.29, and it can be accessed without problems from 'outside', ie. over the modem/outgoing NIC (rl0). When accessing the webserver over the internal network (rl1) however, it doesn't always work as I want. I suspect a problem with the Apache configuration but the behaviour seems to depend on the browser/OS I use on the machine (triple boot W2K, -stable, -current) on the local network: Opera 7.23, -stable: no problem. Opera 7.23, -current: can't access the server by it's hostname, but using the IP of rl1 works as long as nothing is appended to the IP (http://192.168.0.4 works, http://192.168.0.4/somedir does *not* work). Konqueror, -current: no problem (which shows that the problem with Opera is not a resolver issue, right?). I haven't used W2K for a while but AFAIR IE has the same problem as Opera 7.23 on -current. Using tcpdump on the server I found that the requests from Opera 7.23 on -current are answered by the webserver on the outgoing NIC instead of the local NIC, which obviously causes the problem. The requests from Konqueror are properly answered on the local NIC rl1. So my questions: how to make Opera (my favourite browser) work properly in -current? Is this a problem with the Apache server configuration, natd configuration, browser configuration or something else? I browsed through the Apache configuration file, the Apache FAQ and googled for 'Apache multiple NIC' and others but didn't find anything relevant. Any pointer appreciated!

You need to add the line: options QUOTA to your kernel configuration. If this is the first time you've ever got your feet wet with kernel compilation, start off with something very close to GENERIC. In fact, copy GENERIC to YOURKERNCONF, edit YOURKERNCONF to change the 'ident' line so it reads: ident YOURKERNCONF and add the 'options QUOTA' line at the end of the big block of options stuff that follows next in the file. Then build yourself a kernel, install it and reboot, following the instructions in the Hadbook for the exact way to do that. With such a minimal change, you're pretty much assured of success. You can develop a more highly customized kernel with minimal risk of failure by making small incremental changes in this manner, at least until you run out of patience with repeatedly recompiling the kernel.

All the integration is handled for you. It pains me that there isn't an organization of Apple's caliber providing a complete FreeBSD workstation product that I could load on any machine with a simple install. Apple has some advantages when writing an OS to run on their own hardware; FreeBSD needs to deal with a much wider variation of hardware than Apple does in terms of both quality and complexity. Well until 5.x the FreeBSD problem was no more difficult than the one Microsoft dealt with :-) I agree that if you limit supported configs it makes install easier. I use both MacOS X and FreeBSD on a daily basis; they aren't the same OS nor do they make although knowledge of one is often useful on the other. OS X auto-defaults to installing everything into a single HFS+ partition, which is ideal only in the sense that such an installation avoids having the user make a decision about drive partitioning. That is a good example of a "user centric choice." Most application users (non-developers) derive little benefit from having multiple file systems. That being said, my point is not to disagree with you so much as to say that if you think the FreeBSD install should behave differently, you've got the sources: make a few changes to streamline the process and see whether other people like them. And my point was that the primary population of people who would have an opinion would be developers who violently disagree that there should be an "easy" or "dumbed down" install process. Did I mention that I also was the manager (acting) for the group that owned "Sun Install" at Sun 15 years ago ? (God that makes me feel old :-) The current install program has many external similarities to that one. I've heard all of the arguments, no one at Sun would tolerate an "EZ" installer and I doubt hardly anyone here would as well. Part of the problem is that interaction between installation and the need to have the developers provide hooks for it. The package system is quite good and frankly I think passes muster for both newbie/app user/ and developer alike. The XFree86 configuration/install is pretty horrific if you don't know much about computers (asking for the chip used in the video card? please!) My observation is that this is the sort of battle/change that cannot be manifested in an open source community. If you're familiar with the Cathedral and the Bazaar paper, its impossible to get everyone in the Bazaar to be quiet so that one person might speak to everyone at once. Conversely its impossible in the open source model to have one requirement impart requirements on everyone else. It just isn't in the nature of the community to accept such a constraint, and in parts of the community the hint of something like that generates huge antibodies. --Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If I can fix it, I do and then continue on with NOCLEAN. If changes to something like libc come in, every module on your system may use it and I don't think a NOCLEAN is appropriate.

That is really true. If you had done a make world going from 5.1 to 5.2, you would have had to use the fixit disk to recover your system. If that didn't work, you would have had to do a reinstall. The only safe step is make kernel. The rest are separated for your benefit. There was an upgrade in the binutils by O'Brien around 4.0 or 4.1 and make world didn't work there either. There have also been a few occasions when a new kernel would immediately panic. If you found this out during your boot to single user mode, it wasn't a big deal because you could load the old kernel and continue as if nothing was wrong until it was fixed. If you had used make world and you had a completely updated system, recovery was much more involved.

RE: New Users Learning FreeBSD
There will all ways to the party line drawn between the developers and the users. Developers want total freedom about how to install and config while the users wany automated no question asked install. If FBSD was an commercial product, the developers world would never be seen by the customers. There is no question that the sysinstall process is not new-be friendly. Heck it's not even user friendly to experienced users. FBSD all ready has an division point called the development code branch for the developers and the stable code branch for the user community. The stable branch can be considered akin to an commercial product release version. The problem is the development total freedom install method is not really appropriate to the technical knowledge level of the general user community and this division between communities has always gone in favor of the developers. This will never change as long as developers are in control for it's their nature to be blind to the needs of the users of the finished results of their labor. This is even evident in the tone and depth of the documentation of the man pages and the handbook. Every thing is geared to the documentation reference needs of the developer and technical knowledgeable user. There really is no provisions for the people new to FBSD. They are kind of just left on the sidelines and have to dig through a lot of old outdated public internet how-to's, man pages which are so cryptic they are next to useless, and the handbook which is written in an style that is very hard to comprehend, the poor new user has to learn by trial and error. We can all see that this situation is almost designed on purpose to make the new user pay their dues before they can join the FBSD developers club. All this does is inhibits the growth that FBSD could really experience. An good compromise which services the wants and needs of both communities would be to add an newbe user-friendly install process on stable branch only. A step-by-step instructional install guide that explains how the system is designed to be used would go a very long way to speeding up the learning process of the newbe and go an long way to removing the frustration that we see voiced all the time in this questions list.

Well until 5.x the FreeBSD problem was no more difficult than the one Microsoft dealt with :-) I agree that if you limit supported configs it makes install easier. >I use both MacOS X and FreeBSD on a daily basis; they aren't the same OS >nor do they make although knowledge of one is often useful on the >other.

And my point was that the primary population of people who would have an opinion would be developers who violently disagree that there should be an "easy" or "dumbed down" install process. Did I mention that I also was the manager (acting) for the group that owned "Sun Install" at Sun 15 years ago ? (God that makes me feel old :-) The current install program has many external similarities to that one. I've heard all of the arguments, no one at Sun would tolerate an "EZ" installer and I doubt hardly anyone here would as well. Part of the problem is that interaction between installation and the need to have the developers provide hooks for it. The package system is quite good and frankly I think passes muster for both newbie/app user/ and developer alike. The XFree86 configuration/install is pretty horrific if you don't know much about computers (aski

Re: ssh disconnecting [WAS: Getting Cut-Off]
Wayne, I left an SSH connection open to my server last night, and it was still connected this morning; the amount of time exceeded that of past sessions when I was unexpectedly disconnected. I understand your reasoning when stating this is not a configuration issue, and given what you've written below, I tend to agree. I'm using two Realtek 8139 cards in my server and an Intel 21041 in my Win2k box. What type of onboard NIC does your new motherboard have? Also, I have not messed with the default ACPI settings; are they enabled or disabled by default? Interesting to note is that the server has been up for weeks now, and even though a particular SSH session is dropped, the server is still up and running, and will accept new SSH connections after unexpecteded termination of previous connections. This leads me to believe that this is *not* and ACPI problem. -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra Wayne Sierke wrote: On Sat, 2004-03-06 at 19:39, Rishi Chopra wrote: Wayne, I would not suspect the hardware. My suspicion is this has something to do with SSH configuration. Is there a setting within the FreeBSD SSH configuration files that specifies disconnection of idle connections? I didn't think my connection was idle since file transfer was occuring, but since there was no activity in the SSH terminal window, I could see how that could be taken as 'idle'; at any rate, there must be a setting that specifies number of minutes for an idle connection, and/or a way of turning off automatic idle disconnects. A little help from the longbeards please? Arrgh! My primary reason for suspecting hardware/drivers is that in my case, both the current and previous sshd configs were unchanged from the default install. A diff of the sshd_conf between my old and new servers were identical (apart from version comments). This suggests to me that unless 1) there has been a fundamental change in the default behaviour of sshd between 4.8 and 5.2, or 2) my previous setup wasn't working properly (ie. not doing idle disconnects when it should have been) then the cause must lie elsewhere. Additionally, I believe I have witnessed occasions on one of my LAN-connected machines when a ssh session *hasn't* disconnected when left idle for a lengthy period, further suggesting that it is not a configuration issue. Unfortunately I'm still at the stage of only being mostly certain about having witnessed uninterrupted connections. It would certainly help if someone could indicate whether ssh disconnections should be expected or not (on a LAN) with an unmodified sshd configuration.

My 5-current system has been generating INDEX for more than 5 minutes. When all of these messages show up, they usually start appearing by now. A complete make index takes about 20 minutes on opal. Portsdb -U uses make index. What does a uname -a produce? There was a thing with jails and I don't have a jail setup on any of my machines.

4.9 vs 5.2 with consideration of support for SMP, hyperthread, and 3ware
I know I've seen the 4.9 vs 5.2 debate go on a lot, but usually without discussing the exact usage and maturity of certain drivers. I am building a server that has 2 XEON hyperthreaded CPUs. It will have 2 3Ware 7500-series controllers and disks most likely in RAID10 (still debating that choice, but its for another thread). While this server will be used in production, it is understood by the client that we're not offering "5 nines" (due to the nature of the situation, not the o/s). With that being said, I'm not looking for the "run 4.9 because it's the latest stable branch". I also do not want to be on the bleeding edge as far as 5.2 would be concerned. I'd probably pick the latest production release and stick to that. I don't want to spend all my time cvsup'ing sources and buildworld'ing (especially given the probability I'll be duplicating this config another 3 times). What I'm looking for is experience and/or opinion on 4.9/5.2 in regards to better support, speed (where applicable), and stability in regards to HyperThreading (it won't pain me to not use hyperthreading, but if I can, might as well), 3ware controllers, and SMP. Also, if anyone has experience or opinion about benefits of one or the other on Apache and PHP, that is also welcome. Anything special someone has done to get better use of multi-cpu in regards to those programs, etc. Thanks in advance!

I did a cvsup of ports-all just before I did the make index. I have a script that does the cvsup and generate the indexes. I make fewer mistakes that way. How do you run cvsup? What do you use on the command line. For example, I use cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile You might also change the mirror in your cvsup file. For example, I have *default host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix Occasionally, a mirror will get stuck for one reason or another. The only way you can find out is if you have problems, change the mirror to something like cvsup16, and the problem goes away. If you do this and still have problems, you should probably move your problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are more things that you can do but they get messy :). The mirrors mostly update on the hour. Cvsuping less than an hour apart may be using the same old data. You need to wait until 15-20 minutes after the hour for the mirror to be updated. I mirror most of the data and it takes around 8 minutes for a mirror update to finish.

"make world" is *not* the recommended upgrade process > anymore. The new method is detailed in UPDATING. It seems I needed to be very explicit in my meaning. While in 4.9-RELEASE to STABLE, mergmaster is needed as is a rebuild of the kernel. Once those have been accomplished, a simple make world does the trick. As I stated, and does the handbook, make world IS the traditional way of compiling and installing your src tree. When done in the correct steps, works very well. I for one refuse to adopt the new way untill I moved to 5.1 - then it was simply a matter if having too. I have always done make world up untill 4.9-STABLE without issues, as many other users. So perhaps I didn't clarify my points (as I'm doing now). I believe in the users case of 4.9, make world (with the proper steps involved) is and will continue to be ba a viable way of compiling your src tre and upgrading your system. Otherwise, the handbook would have removed that all togather. You must remember, there are many of us that sometime refuse to adopt new ways of doing things unless need requires it - now that I run 5.2.1, I use the new style and actually like it. make world has worked for me since 2.2.6 and I hated to see it go.
