I use that on systems that I cannot cvsup sources on until I compile a custom kernel (got some el cheapo 10/100 NICs not properly recognized by GENERIC kernel). Works without buildworld. 2. As a normal part of building and installing a new world. I use basically the method recommended in /usr/src/UPDATING: make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM make installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM (reboot, possibly single user) make installworld mergemaster (reboot) I've never tried combining the two methods, as you seem to have tried. I doubt that it's supposed to work. HTH, -- Greg White To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
