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 :-)
