Okay, then. Install the full system source (I don't think you need xfree) then look in /usr/src/release. **READ THE MAKEFILE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING** Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
