Having said that, when I cvsup'd 6.0-RELEASE after installing from CD, there were only one or two files updated. But my version went from 6.0-RELEASE to 6.0-RELEASE-p1. The other thing is you don't appear to have run buildworld. This step uses the 6.0-RELEASE source in /usr/src to build userland and gcc and so on. I'm not sure, but I think you have to use the compilation tools from buildworld to create your new kernel. > 3. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf > 4. Created my own config file (LAPTOP) > 5.

I'd be inclined to start from the beginning, going through the steps given in usr/src/Makefile > This machine has run Linux for the past few months compiling various things.
