If I understand you correctly, you want to revert to FreeBSD/i386; in which case I'd advise that you are *extremely* careful, and make sure that everything important is recompiled in i386; FreeBSD/amd64 can run binaries from FreeBSD/i386, but not vice-versa. I *think* that you should be ok running a source update (csup sources, make buildworld installworld kernel) with arch as i386, then reboot, pkg_delete -f portupgrade\*, pkg_add -r portupgrade, portupgrade -faP etc Don't take my word for it, it is beyond my expertise, I've deliberately made it obtuse; get someone with more knowledge to elucidate :P Or, you could stick with /amd64. -- R< $&h ! > $- ! $+ $@ $2 < @ $1 .UUCP. > (sendmail.cf) _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
