I tried to cvsup then make buildworld, each time it would fail usually with a compiler error. Then I re-installed with a minimum system with source, tried to buildworld with that, same thing, errored out. I tried to compile the kernel so I could have sound, no go, errors... Could I have downloaded a bad iso? I use direcpc and downloading anything over 140mb is difficult at best, I don't look forward to another large download anytime soon, maybe I will try the mini iso and see how it goes. I use linux other wise, in fact I had to install linux just to see if I could still compile a kernel on this box, everything works great in linux. My system is a p4 1.8A, Abit TH7II, 256 Rambus, I have run any diagnostic I could find and everything tests ok, why can't I compile anything in FreeBSD? I followed the handbook exactly, set up /etc/make.conf per instructions, even tried with out a make.conf I had enough of a taste of FreeBSD to know that I want to use it as an os instead of Linux, I need to be able to compile though.
