Firstly, I have a really dumb question to ask, as I am totally green when it comes to most thing about Intel machines, let alone FreeBSD, and Kernel hacking. Does the supfile "cvs-supfile", track current? If it does,then I have a current supped from aournd April 16. Subsequently, I do have some time, on Friday, and will have more time after the final exams, to play with it and run some tests, but I will need to know how to test it ... I think I can figure out the kernel configuration stuff from RTFMing the handbook ... but a little hand holding will be needed with Kernel debuging ... and to find out what particular information would be helpful to the programmers. Finally, I think my machine has stabalized again. I had some problems going between release and current, as my hardware was the cause of several random reboots in the middle of make world. Since, than I have moved several cards around the new IDE card I bought, re-installed and made the world after doing a sup on the standard-supfile, and the cvs-supfile. Its been up for two days, and does not seem to have a problem ... but ... I am not %100 sure ... I will do another sup cvs-supfile, and than make the world ... and hope it survives ... Thank you ... +---------------+----------------------------+---------------+ | Tam Weng Seng | May the source be with you | Tan Yongcheng | +---------------+----------------------------+---------------+
