I noticed that it is in 'current' - so can be run from the
$DESTDIR directory.
It should be noted that it doesn't install very much of /etc.
Indeed it doesn't even install itself!

I updated everything except:
    ./etc/group 
    ./etc/passwd 
    ./etc/master.passwd 
    ./etc/spwd.db 
    ./etc/pwd.db 
			
    ./etc/sysctl.conf 
    ./etc/localtime 
    ./etc/rc.conf 
    ./etc/printcap 
    ./etc/remote 
    ./etc/hosts 
    ./etc/syslog.conf 
    ./etc/inetd.conf 
    ./etc/sendmail.cf 

I suspect that clobbered some important file - but I haven't
found it yet :-)
