-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have NFS+PXE installs working, but I need quotas enabled. I haven't seen any way to do this other than a custom kernel, so I need to have sysinstall push a custom build kernel out instead of the default one. I copied the disc1 ISO to a directory, /var/export/6.0-RELEASE, and I need to update this with my custom kernel but I don't really know how. I found where it keeps the "base" distribution gz files, now how do I get my new kernel into there? I read online about making a release, and it seems I should go into my /usr/src and do a make release chrootdir=/var/export/6.0-RELEASE, is this correct or is there an easier way to do this? The machine isn't too fast, it takes overnight to build a kernel, so if there's a better way that would rock. I could copy my files and make my own gz's but I'm hoping there's a better way, or a way to fetch a different kernel, or something. Thanks, Josh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEKF24V/+PyAj2L+IRAmo4AJ4sARPUBGPlIAsKHxGUSFEO5NgrxQCfeXAc nU5UrDcblkM5VOG2SyQhCec= =7/fG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
