What values are you using for base= and prefix= in your supfile? Did you look at the file: /usr/src/share/FAQ/extras/standard-supfile Also when running sup can it should be run as root, or it should be able to write to /usr/src [it needs to create /usr/src/sup/... for state information]. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
