I just thought I'd add a bit more detail to the previous response. You should follow the directions at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html. You have to use the kernel config file to make a new kernel. Another tip, already briefly mentioned - try not to use 'root' as your normal login. A good solution is to make a regular user in the group 'wheel' so that you can 'su root' when necessary. -Charon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
