First verify the /usr/src dir on your CDROM against the original tree! mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /cdrom cd /cdrom/usr/src # assuming it sits there rm -r * # get rid of the old contents tar -s cf - . | (cd /usr/src; tar -p xf - ) # copy over > Can i just cp -r /cdrom/* /usr/src (on the 4.1 Release computer and then > build world like that ? or can i do it some way without copying the files > over and buildworld straight from the cd..? Alternatively, mounting the CD-ROM somewhere (assuming /cdrom/usr/src contains your image) mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /cdrom cd /usr rm -r src # kill it's old contents ln -sf /cdrom/usr/src src # link the cdrom src directory there > I tried to cp -r /cdrom/* /usr/src and got alot fo erros saying something > about dates and copy_big ... Check your CD-ROM. Did you make an ISO filesystem before you burnt anything? Read "man mkisofs".
