Thank you so much for your help. And for the redirection thing. Now if i get errors on custom kernel compilation, i'll be able to send more specific stuff. i see in the freebsd-stable list archive there is a call for testing on the 4.5. So, since i got caught-up in this, i'll pull the kernel-config file that i had on 4.3 and was working and comile it on 4.5, and who knows...i might contribute something on the testing... Anyway, thanks a lot for all the help. Take care, Berinie On Thu, 27 Dec 2001, Crist J . Clark wrote: > On Fri, Dec 28, 2001 at 12:32:24AM +0000, Bernie wrote: > [snip] > > > 1.
