However on 5.x 'make kernel' installs a kernel.old. On 6.x: basement# make -n kernel cd /usr/src; PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin `if [ -x /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make ]; then echo /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make; else echo make; fi` -m /usr/src/share/mk -f Makefile.inc1 buildkernel cd /usr/src; PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin `if [ -x /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make ]; then echo /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make; else echo make; fi` -m /usr/src/share/mk -f Makefile.inc1 installkernel 'make kernel' executed both 'make buildkernel' and 'make installkernel' so I'm guessing it won't but I'll know for sure in a few minutes. -Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Anderson" To: "Steve Ames" Cc: Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 10:35 AM Subject: Re: kernel.old not used any longer? > Steve Ames wrote: > > I just noticed yesterday that there hasn't been an update to /boot/kernel.old > > since sometime in August.
