Not too sure but there must be something in your kernel conf that requires netgraph (I don't use it). To be on the safe side, it's always best to compile GENERIC unless you're trying to screw the last drop of performance from your machine. > > Anyway, it worked so I can look at my other problems now. > This machine was disconnected from the internet a few months so I > had a very long package list that needed to be updated. Take a good look at /usr/ports/UPDATING and work on updating the ports/packages mentioned in there. Then hit the ports with lots of dependencies with portupgrade. E.g: # portupgrade -vrR firefox (Assuming you're using it as a workstation & like Firefox). Then I'd use the -a flag for portupgrade to hit the rest of the ports/packages. Use the -P flag if you want packages. > > Thanks for your reply! No worries :) Glad to be of help. > > Dino > Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
