So my old kernel is not in /kernel.old (and I know if I boot with kernel.GENERIC the network card will not work.) I am not certian that my new kernel will recognise the network card either (it is a remote machine). I want to make a script to overwrite the new kernel with with the old one and reboot the machine if no one connects to the machine after a certian period time (through crontab). That way if my new kernel doesn't work, my machine will rectify itself and reboot without me being on site at the ISP. I hope that makes sense? Thanks for any ideas you can give (: Regards, Jacob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
