The /usr/src/sys directory should contain the kernel source code. Your claim that the /usr/src directory is empty is strange since you also say you are compiling a custom kernel. Where is the custom kernel config file if not under /usr/src/sys//conf? __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
