The trick is that you make the changes to YOUR tree, not to the FreeBSD distributed tree. Move their tree to /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src and then clone it in /usr/src with the lndir command. You can then copy and edit the file of two that you wish to change. That way the reference tree is not disturbed. The only real problem is that you have to watch for changes to routines that you have modified and merge those with your own. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
