(Sections 9 and 21 should be combined instead of isolated, imho.) the steps that were agreed upon were the following: 0 # (be root) 1 # cd /usr/src 2 # make buildworld 3 # make buildkernel KERNCONF= 4 # make installkernel KERNCONF= 5 # shutdown -r now 6 # make installworld 7 # mergemaster -i these are what i am following now. i see you are recommending i use the "traditional way." do you think it will aleviate my problems? -Sameer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
