I performed term% /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull today and I noticed some new updates to files for commands. So I did term% cd /sys/src/cmd term% mk all and waited (primarily for GhostScript). At the end there were errors. So I went back and tried to see if term% cd .. term% mk clean would fix it. Nope - it reset my date, among others. So now I'm going to reinstall Plan 9. Oh, and when I tried to back up my files to my FTP server, it wiped some of the files (a important one was updated on my Mac OS X system, though, and two were not touched, so everything is good now). :-( So now I'm going back to reinstall Plan 9 and ask this question: If an update is retrieved with glenda's pull, do you then perform an mk all on the new sources?
