Hi, Before the 'make buildkernel' change to STABLE last month, I had my usual kernel as /MYCROFT and the generic one as /GENERIC, and every now and then when I built a new world I'd install a new GENERIC to be on the safe side. (I once installed the wrong kernel on this machine, and had some trouble with an old GENERIC, so I like to keep it fairly up to date.) Now, though, what's the best way to build it? Building it the normal way will install it as /kernel, so I'd have to move it out of the way by hand. And what about modules? My custom kernel uses fewer, so would GENERIC run into trouble if it looked for them and they weren't there? Bill -- William Denton : Toronto, Canada : http://www.miskatonic.org/ : Caveat lector.
