Dale, you dont have the kernel source, if you would like these directories to compile a kernel you need to get the ssys.* files from the 2.1.0 release. Then read the directions on www.freebsd.org on what to do with them, the short of it is cat ssys.* > ssys.tgz, and then tar -zxvf ssys.tgz! there you have it. good luck --- Jared --jared@vt.edu On Wed, 20 Dec 1995, Dale Benzer wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm trying to customize my kernal on a new install of FreeBSD 2.1.
