mhhhh ... then you have that thing everybody really wants :) but I guess your 
experience is overwriting the glasses ;) 

I found lots of threads not exactly to my error but related to system builds 
and system time and I haven't read them all, especial since you resumed it 
already. Has it to do with the make delimiters ":" and ";" ?

anyway, the error msg I got is kind of weak here, right?

anyway again, if the date is so important, understandable BTW, why then 
buildworld does not compare system time and realtime by a simple ntpdate 
lookup and give out an advice about the risk?

In my case we have people doing the standard CD install and then we do cvsup  
and build the system. Sure was my fault not checking the date but a simple 
thing to check the time and say "hey, your time/date might be wrong, please 
check." don't you agree? 

funny then or related, look I did a binary upgrade using sysinstall to 
6.2-RC1, but by mistake I set RC2, then sysinstall obviously didn't found it 
and I corrected to RC1. The upgrade run fine and rebooting still appeared 
6.1-RELEASE

then I did it again setting correctly to RC1 and sysinstall warned about the 
old kernel .prev and completed well but after reboot there was 
no /boot/kernel and bootloader failed

both binary upgrades I must have done with bad date. Are this problems also 
related to the date or are they sysinstall bugs, what do you think?
