>Has anyone addressed a fix for this problem yet ?? [The "make: don't know how to make copies. Stop" message during installworld since yesterday.] Not (by any stretch of the imagination) a "solution", but this morning, I went ahead and performed the following brutish hack: Index: share/examples/Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/freebsd/src/share/examples/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.29 diff -u -r1.29 Makefile --- share/examples/Makefile 2001/10/20 04:18:13 1.29 +++ share/examples/Makefile 2001/10/21 17:47:03 @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ all clean cleandir depend lint tags: -beforeinstall: etc-examples ${SHARED} +beforeinstall: etc-examples .for dir in ${DIRS} FILES!= find -L ${dir} \( -name CVS -prune \) -o -type f -print and although I expect that some files may not have been installed, quite a lot more got installed than with the unmodified Makefile. And although I didn't stress either of the machines in question much afterward, they did each boot to multi-user OK. One was my build machine; the other, my laptop. Maybe the above will help identify what the real problem (& solution(s)) might be.... Cheers, david -- David H.
