Okay. I have been doing some extensive searching and maybe know what is my problem. Perhaps you can guide me as to where I need to proceed from here. First, a quick recap...Gary Clark, a FBSD developer, installed our system but he has since left us for reasons we won't discuss. Now I have inheirited the system and I am not very BSD oriented. I only wished to activate the ports on my Boca that were not working. I changed out a generic 4port Usenet serial board which stopped working. I went in and changed my kernel to the appropriate settings for a multiport board. This is when I realized the problem... Now, I have sent you my kernel configuration yesterday. Since then I have been reading (and reading!). I believe now that some of the files used in config and/or make have either been corrupted or are now completely missing. The garbage I receive when trying to use make (make depend works fine) indicates possibly corrupted files and it cannot read them as such. Possible? How can I tell if some files are corrupted or missing? I have 3 servers (main, terminal and backup) and running make on each gets the same "garbage:not found" response. I have found that I can possibly use the fixit.flp to heal my wounds. Is this true with what I have encountered? If so do you have any hints to guide me through fixing this? I do appreciate any help and time taken to guide a newb like me. FBSD is a very stable system and have had nothing but praise from my 100+ customers since switching from Unixware (ugh!). I just need some nudging in the right direction on a few things. My sincerest Thanks, Rick Gray Network Pros, Inc.
