Doc, I am new to FreeBSD and was previously only a UNIX user, not an admin. I read over the section in the handbook about building a new kernel and had a problem with the example=85 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-b uilding.html Here is the procedure that I was trying to follow: Procedure 1. Building a kernel the ``traditional'' way 1. Run config(8) to generate the kernel source code. 2. # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 3. Change in to the build directory. 4. # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL 5. Compile the kernel. 6. # make depend 7. # make 8. Install the new kernel. 9. # make install As it turned out, I needed to be in /usr/sbin/sys/i386/conf to start with, but I didn't see that listed anywhere. I first tried to follow Procedure 2, but that didn't work at all, so I tried #1 and once I got it to start working I never looked back at #2. (I even tried to use the whole path to MYKERNEL when I was in the wrong directory, wondering how config was supposed to find the config file, but that didn't work either.) Just wanted to pass that along. Thanks for your help. :) Chris =A0 ------------------------------------- Chris Rocco rocco@earthlink.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
