Going the "good old way" (make world, _then_ build a new kernel) doesn't have to _work_, the problem right now is that it will complete, but in the end you'll have a non-running system (and, the way I understood, it would be non-repearable without a new binary installation). An interruption of the build-process at the beginning, displaying a message ("Please build and install a new kernel first") in this case would be suficient. bye, Harold -- <Shabby> Sleep is an abstinence syndrome wich occurs due to lack of caffein.
