Because I've done this before, it wasn't that painful, but the process is not intuitive and it's not really well documented outside the Makefile. I'm guessing most "newbies" would be more than a little dismayed to see comments about replacing boot-blocks, or worse, messages about incompatible kernel types on reboot after an upgrade. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Colin Date: 29-Nov-1999 Time: 23:01:30 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
