Yesterday I updated ports. And now firefox3 crashes right after start.
Windows firefox3 under wine also has some graphics defects, many icons
are jammed.
Some icons in kde4 applets are oversized.
Something isn't quite right.
Anyone has similar problems?

Colleagues,
I have updated 6.3-RELEASE to 6.4-RELEASE-p4 (actually recent RELENG_6_4)
from source (make buildworld etc).
However "freebsd-update cron" still insists that I should update my system:
The following files will be updated as part of updating to 6.4-RELEASE-p4:
/lib/libc.so.6
/lib/lib

I remember reading they aren't in /dev/ but still is mountable. Is this

Just my two cents:

FreeBSD never was intended to be fancy, but to be functional.

I've compiled kernel without msdosfs.
When I mount some FAT system msdosfs.ko,msdosfs_iconv.ko,libiconv.ko are

When I unmount this FAT all those .ko modules stay.
'kldunload msdosfs' unloads it ok.
But 'kldunload msdosfs_iconv' hangs OS immediately making it unusable.

This system has been a dual-monitor since before the change-over from
XFree86 to xorg. The change-over resulted in losing dual-monitor
capability, but I've recently taken another shot at it. I knew I'd need
to be patient during the change-over.

I didn't say a graphical installer has less functionality. I said it
has no more.

Agreed. Only add GUI installer if it allows added functionality. Since
text mode can do everything GUI mode can do (with less overhead),
there is absolutely no reason to introduce a GUI installer.
Let's diverge onto discussing functionality

On Friday I ran the following:
# cd /usr/local/etc/cvsup
# csup -L2 ports-supfile
# csup -L2 doc-supfile
# csup -L2 stable-supfile (tag=RELENG_7)
I then rebuilt the world and installed it. When I rebooted,
I was very pleasantly surprised to find:
