Hi!

After the thread i want to ask some questions . 

1 - Suppose ,for example, i have FreeBSD-2.1.5 with ,for example, sendmail
    version x.y.z . If i ftp from a.b.c the newest sendmail, unpack it
    in /usr/src and compile it , have i FreeBSD-2.1.5 or "FreeBSD-matra"?

2 - Why ports?
    I have installed many programs (nvi,vile,diffutils,a prolog
    compiler) from various srcs without problems !

3 - FreeBSD's libc is different from the linux libc; Where can i get 
    the src for it ? Wat about libg++ ?Can anyone give me information
    about diffs between linux-libc and freebsd-libc?

4 - Finally ; I have 2.2.0 src dist from ftp.freebsd.org ; When i try
    to compile it , this is the result :

    "Makefile", line 324:Could not find bsd.kern.mk 

    And the /usr/sbin/config says :

    UNKNOWN % construct in generic makefile :%SFILES

    Have i to upgrade the config program ?   

5 - Where can i get newest version of gcc/libc/libg++ ? Can i use sup   
    for this purpose ?

6 - The last : using ppa driver for a zip-100 can i newfs an UFS fs on
    a 100MB disk ?

Uff... so much things to do and so little time available ....
