Sure you can delete those files and not hurt any thing. But they do have purpose in FBSD. Lets say you recompile kernel and for some reason when you go to boot new kernel it does not boot, you are stuck. You can reboot and select the kernel.Generic or kernel.old to bring box back to life and fix problem, so that being said, it's highly recommended to not delete those files. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Schalk Erasmus Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 12:05 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: kernel files Hi, I would like to know, if it is safe to remove these files from /: kernel.GENERIC kernel.old Since there is already a /kernel (which should be the current one, right?)
