It was suggested before that it might have been crashing because the memory was bad, and whenever there was a lot of activity on the box it would crash... Now I've replaced the memory I'd like to really put it through its paces to see if it crashes or not. I'm quite new to FreeBSD - but can I just: cd /usr/src buildworld If I do this - it won't actually change any of the configuration of my system will it? It won't replace any files (the kernel, etc...) - all it will do is rebuild the source (but not install it) - right? Is this the right thing to do?
