Is there any way to stop it sending this? syslogd is off, in /etc/rc.conf Thanks. P.S. I have an AMD processor. In /etc/rc.conf right below syslogd, there's this amd_enable option. Should I use it? Also, I deleted all the files in the /usr/src directory to make room (of which I have verry little). But now, I can't recompile my Kernel! For that matter, I can't even FIND the source for my kernel! Am I up S**t's creek? Can I re download JUST the sources? I think I lost track of where my kernel was. I'm somewhat new at this. thanks:) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
