Yes, though you may need to do the "config" first; I'm not sure if 4.2 shipped with a config'ed kernel or not. Once you start updating sources from the cvs repository, things get confusing because the kernel build process depends on using the correct toolset. Details on all this are in the handbook at <URL: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html >. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
