You need to personally update /etc yourself, updating doesn't extract
etc38.tgz, as that would over write ALL your personal settings
including users and passwords. There are sections in the upgrade guide
for updating etc, so make sure you do those. If you want to get just
the directories, you can do:
DESTDIR= make distrib-dirs
inside /usr/src/etc but you still need to actually put the files
there. Follow the upgrade guide better.
Ah, I see the problem. I read the FAQ, chapter 4, install, and it
did not point me to the upgrade guide, just said be sure
to upgrade /etc (which I did using etc38.tgz as a template,
and hence wound up with the missing directories).
It would be good if there was a link in chapter 4 of the FAQ to
the upgrade guide at the point where it says to upgrade /etc.
(Wierd I missed it as I've used the upgrade
guide before, but it was late...)
So, turns out all I really need to do is run mtree.
Thanks.
