Don't worry, I tried sending a test message from a gmail account and
it bounced too.  I've changed the mailbox in my address to something
else.

OK.  Is that equivalent to declaring it as a make command parameter:
| make buildkernel KERNCONF=MY_SYS
or do I really need to put it in make.conf?

I'm not sure I understand what 'in sync' really means.  I upgraded the
system from 6.1 release using the 6.2 pre-release ISOs which upgraded
the binaries and installed the GENERIC kernel, but refused to upgrade
the sources - so I then ran cvsup to update the sources using a
supfile based on stable-supfile.
Machine is 120 MHz and make buildworld is ongoing - should be time for
another cup of tea I think!

The only significant changes to GENERIC I need are:
options 	PPS_SYNC
options	HZ=100

Cheers

Geoff
