Just curious. First Advice: don't make changes to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC. Copy GENERIC to some other name and make the changes there. Second Advice: read /usr/src/UPDATING - you may already know this, but... - start with the "COMMON ITEMS" section, found towards the end. Then work your way backwards from the beginning. Also, look at /usr/src/share/examples/etc/make.conf or /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf Third Advice: there are too many other places to look for information to list. Handbook, FAQ, Release Notes, Errata, Installation Guide, Hardware Notes, Installation Notes, Migration Guide, etc. Your first questions: Sure, it does, if you use it as is. You're making changes and there are things you need to do in order for those changes to work. Second Question: recvsup should probably be re-cvsup, this supposes that you did a cvsup of your sources to begin with and something was wrong with it. So, do you have cvsup installed? Do you know how to use it? Do you know about supfiles and what should be in one? I think you need to cvsup your sources and go through the full buildworld sequence. I think you're trying to short cut and it's biting you in the butt right now. Everyone was a beginner at some time. Don -- Donald J. O'Neill donaldj1066@fastmail.fm
