Nick, Do you ever lighten up? Were you the guy correcting the professor every few minutes annoying everyone? Seriously! What happened to you?! My background is Solaris and SuSE, not OpenBSD, but when Solaris 9 failed to format my disks thus rendering my old blade a brick, I was in a panic. My research turned up openbsd for sparc64 and I came to openbsd in 11/2011 for the first time in my life and burned what I thought was the release version of 5.0, kernel #65 without understanding you run concurrent versions and it is user beware and of course I burned the wrong one for my application, but yesterday I finally realised my mistake, hence all of my package problems.
I burned the release disk, which has a 8/2011 timestamp and packages are adding fine since my path reference is now in sync. This reply is an epilogue only, I will refrain from further intrusion in your precious inbox. Nick Holland <n...@holland-consulting.net> wrote: >On 01/20/12 13:43, Richard Thornton wrote: >> Eureka!
