Try going to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/cvsup.html#HANDBOOK-MIRRORS-CHAPTER-SGML-MIRRORS-PRIMARY-CVSUP and picking a hostname from that list. You are going to want something that looks like this: *default host=cvsup1.FreeBSD.org > *default base=/var/db > *default prefix=/usr > *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8_0 Are you intending to download exactly the sources for 8.0-RELEASE? If you want to have 8.0-STABLE you should use this instead: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8 > *default delete use-rel-suffix > > src-all > > > > source update How are you doing that exactly? > and > > cd /usr/src > > make cleandir && make cleandir && rm -rf /usr/obj > > make buildkernel FreeBSD is not like Linux in the sense that you don't just want to update the kernel independently of the rest of the base system. You want to update the whole thing. Try this instead: make buildworld && make buildkernel You should also read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html to get a better idea of the overall process. hope this helps, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
