My first attempt, which I got working, automates the custom kernel build. One problem: I have to enter the kernel name twice, once lower case and the other upper case. I do not have any books on shell scrips so please excuse the sans-RTFM question. Is there something that will uppercase a variable? Possibly putting the value in another variable? Cheers... P.S. If anybody knows of a "FreeBSD shell scripts for Dummies" can you point me at it? Thanks...
