Yes, that's it. I have a modified kernel that I made for my machine. I made a kernel using (as described in the handbook) the make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL make installkernel So, I compile a custom kernel and then I reinstall a kernel.debug. One more question, though - why does one has to have the cvs-sources for the buildkernel procedure? --- Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> wrote: > On Fri, Sep 06, 2002 at 07:35:16AM -0700, magudexter > wrote: > > > 1. all the ports worked without a glich.
