Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. does anyone have any other sources that can walk me through the ENTIRE process from start to finish... meaning the kernel... the ports... the existing installed applications and anything else i didn't mention that's required? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
