Hi. Here is a snip from the Handbook You must now compile the source code for the kernel. There are two procedures you can use to do this, and the one you will use depends on why you are rebuilding the kernel, and the version of FreeBSD you are running. ----- If you have installed only the kernel source code, use procedure 1. If you are running a FreeBSD version prior to 4.0, and you are not upgrading to FreeBSD 4.0 or higher using the make world procedure, use procedure 1. If you are building a new kernel without updating the source code (perhaps just to add a new option, such as IPFIREWALL) you can use either procedure. If you are rebuilding the kernel as part of a make world process, use procedure 2. .... .... If you have not upgraded your source tree in any way (you have not run CVSup, CTM, or used anoncvs), then you should use the config, make depend, make, make install sequence. ------- The first procedure is the config/make depend/make/make install and the second is make buildkernel/installkernel. Here is the link: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html Thanks again for your time, Costin --- Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 06, 2002 at 10:01:38AM -0700, magudexter > wrote: > > Yes, that's it.
