--=-h904I+xJpR5z1YuedUwg Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Erik, Thanks for the reply. Seems as if I'm mis-understanding something here, or not explaining myself very well.., After running cvsup stable-supfile, should there not be a *new* GENERIC kernel for me to configure - located in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf?=20 I am at the step in The FreeBSD Handbook - pg 511 section 19.4.7: Compile and Install a New Kernel, at the moment. At this point I would have expected to have an up-to-date GENERIC kernel to proceed with this step. So, my query (in my mind) concerns a step before that which the kind responses have referred to so far.,=20 Am I (have I missed) missing something along the way somewhere? The GENERIC kernel I have after running make -j 4 buildworld does not appear to be newer than the one I had there from the last upgrade I did last month. Hope this clarifies my query, if not (or if you require further info), please let me know. Thanks again.
