Kent is right about the placement of the tag=. line. I've always just used separate supfiles for ports and doc, because I update them at different times than I do the source tree. > > I do want to stay with -STABLE.

Even if you screw up and delete the entire source tree, it won't hose the running system, and you can fix the supfile and re-cvsup. > > Also, as to why the kernel build is installing in /boot/kernel/, > at the top of the kernel build, it lists a variable KMODDIR > that is set to /boot/kernel/.

Sorry.) Top-posting loses context, though. It's not a huge deal in a lot of cases, but is a real PITA when you want to respond point-by-point, like this. > > Shawn > mike -- ___________________________________________________________ "YOU CAN NOT BUY AN EIGHT FOOT TALL CRIME FIGHTING ROBOT UNLESS YOU ARE A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER!!!" - Pokey the Penguin from "REQUEST DENIED THEN GRANTED" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
