X-Shane: Hi Shane! Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm really unclear on the new kernel building system. I was walking a fellow System Administrator through configuring and compiling their kernel for the first time on a *BSD distribution. This was a fresh install of 4.1 so I had him install the sources from the CD he installed from. I then had him configure his kernel and try to compile it. Tons of errors. (Machine was not on the network so I was not able to get that information.) So now he is doing a make buildworld to hopefully fix the problems. I understand if you cvsup'ed your source tree to have to rebuild to update the kernel. But from a base installation? -- Erich Zigler Sr. System Administrator A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. -- Robert Benchley To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
