Excuse me (I'm worried about doing something inordinately dumb), just to verify, if I do that line above, after a buildworld/installworld, and then build a new kernel with KERNFORMAT set to elf, and install it, I should be running ok, right? All my newly regenned lkms will keep on humming fine, same obj files that powered the aout kernel, right? If I get an answer here, I'll go ahead and take the next step (gulp!) ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
