Hmmm... my handbook doesn't state that, though it is fairly new (installed by 4.1). Looking back, it does say "if you are using a release-version of FreeBSD and your /usr/src/ directory only contains the sys/ sub-directory [type the following, ie. do it the 'old way']". If I was reading very carefully I should have caught that. :) Steve K. U.F.O. - "For the feeler gauge in you."
