Hi,
      I'm new at this, and would really appreciate some assistance.  I
am running FreeBSD 4.2 and have successfully installed the software YAY!
 I loaded the KDE desktop environment and haven't yet blown up my
monitor.  For a novice, I am relatively pleased..     )

So, here's my question:

I have followed the website instructions to the letter for creating a
custom kernel (what got me started was wanting to have sound
capability).  So, I copied the generic kernel to one named "MYKERNEL". 
I can see that this file exists, and I can open it with my "ee" editor. 
I added the necessary "device   pcm" line.

But now, I've tried compiling it with both of the procedures you list on
your site.  With procedure 1, I'm told that the file "MYKERNEL" doesn't
exist.  With procedure 2, I'm told that I "cannot make buildkernel".

Obviously, I have made a silly blunder.  Although I'm certainly not yet
"worthy", and you FreeBSD gurus are probably getting a good chuckle
right now, I have a sincere interest in this stuff and would be grateful
if you have a suggestion or two.  Clearly I'm getting into the deep end
of the pool now.  Any help is appreciated..     )
