In March/April, someone posted a letter describing changes neccessary to allow mounting a read-only source tree (CD-ROM) and compiling directly off of it. Did this work for the kernel also? Was it too late for the 2.0.5R CD-ROM? I want to recompile the kernel using sources directly off of the CD-ROM, providing a kernel configuration that will boot from my second hard drive and remove the (Small/too small) FreeBSD partition from my first drive. Section 3.14 of the FAQ indicates that kernel is apparently excluded from being built off of the CD-ROM. I have compiled kernels a number of times (pre 2.0R) and I know how to edit my config file, etc. What I need is for some kind soul to clue me in as to how I can accomplish this task from the CD if at all possible. I have plans for > 1G drive, but that has to wait for now. -- Richard Hykel hykel@twisto.compaq.com My opinion is my own and subject to change... and change.
