I had already done a couple of merges apparently successfully (including the <:a> command and ), /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd, and am merging /etc/ntpd.conf. I do not use the vi editor often, and have a session showing 'man vi' which I look at before doing every command. My route to where I am is: ssh # from an OpenBSD box if that matters. su freebsd-update -r 14.0-RELEASE upgrade # watch things happen till prompted to do manual merges. Then in the vi (?) session type :a to which the response is: Entering ex input mode I found the page 'jakeworth.com/exit-vim-ex-mode/' which does not give me a get-out but does suggest entering 'ex input mode' by accident is possible. So, how do I get out of 'ex input mode' in my case? Or can I just kill the session running freebsd-update and restart freebsd-update assuming it will pick from where it had got to? Roger
