Read the handbook (the part about CVSup), get the correct packet of cvsup for your system (there are packets for machines with and without X) and get the tree with RELENG_2_2 (thats 2.2-stable). Make world after running cvsup. > > I did a "make world" on my 2.2.2 system just to make sure that there were > no nasty surprises.

In /usr/src/sys/i386/conf are the config-files for the kernel(s). Since you are free to name your kernel as you like, it isn't build automagically. I'd build the kernel (with config <name> and compiling it) after a successfull "make world". Martin
