Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 1. You were unfortunately misdirected by Mr. McRae - hackers@freebsd.org is NOT the correct forum for your question. Questions should go to our most aptly titled questions@freebsd.org mailing list, thank you. 2. You need to have kernel sources installed before applying kernel source patches, hence any attempt to apply Andrew McRae's kernel patch kit would undoubtedly fail as a result of this somewhat important prerequisite step being skipped. The solution should be obvious: Install the kernel sources. Bonus Q & A section: -------------------- Q. How the hell do I install the kernel sources? A. Go read the contents of http://www.freebsd.org thoroughly and you will thereafter be much enlightened about component installation and many other useful things. The "src" distribution in your FreeBSD release also contains the actual bits you are looking for and can be easily persuaded into giving up its secrets by perusing the "install.sh" script a bit.
