You can configure this in /etc/syslog.conf You can also log what happened by directing output to a file, like: # cvsup -g -L 2 /path/to/supfile > /var/log/cvsup.log > 2). then I proceeded to follow the book: > make buildworld > (config MYKERNEL --this was not in the book)**this should not > mess things up? I honestly don't know. > make buildkernel KERNEL=MYkernel > make installkernel KERNEL=MYkernel That should be KERNCONF. That's important. If you get that wrong, it will compile a GENERIC kernel. As for why it didn't update, I suspect that it didn't actually update your source. Try cvsupping again, and this time log what happens. If a lot of source is changed, then you can be pretty sure you never updated it the first time. - jt > reboot (in single user) [1] > make installworld > mergemaster > reboot > > no error messages doing all the above steps. > > 3).
