I wasn't aware that I needed to do a buildworld too, am limited on the amount of disk space I have, the whole disk is 6Gb with a 1Gb /home and over 3Gb /usr. Is that going to be enough? /tmp and /var are quite small. Will go through the Makefile and see what happens this time round. > > >>3. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf >>4.
