Thanks for the reply Eric.

Thank you also for the explanation.

However, to prevent others from breaking their systems, please update your FAQ as soon as possible.

It says...

System and software updates
How should I update GhostBSD to latest updates?

To update your GhostBSD system.

sudo pkg update -f
sudo pkg upgrade
===

The page I am refering to is here:
https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/FAQ

It's unfortunate that by following these instructions I damaged the system.

Perhaps you could change the FAQ to tell users they MUST use the GUI menu to update the system and also put a danger warning there NOT to update the system via the terminal as that will break the system.

Fortunately I managed to get my data off the system using RC interactively...

Anyways thanks for creating GhostBSD Eric.
It really helped me on my way to understanding and switching to FreeBSD

Cheers and regards

The problem with the Wiki it is not maintained only by people involved in GhostBSD.
