I am running FreeBSD 4.2 and have successfully installed the software YAY! I loaded the KDE desktop environment and haven't yet blown up my monitor. For a novice, I am relatively pleased.. ) So, here's my question: I have followed the website instructions to the letter for creating a custom kernel (what got me started was wanting to have sound capability). So, I copied the generic kernel to one named "MYKERNEL". I can see that this file exists, and I can open it with my "ee" editor. I added the necessary "device pcm" line. But now, I've tried compiling it with both of the procedures you list on your site. With procedure 1, I'm told that the file "MYKERNEL" doesn't exist. With procedure 2, I'm told that I "cannot make buildkernel". Obviously, I have made a silly blunder. Although I'm certainly not yet "worthy", and you FreeBSD gurus are probably getting a good chuckle right now, I have a sincere interest in this stuff and would be grateful if you have a suggestion or two. Clearly I'm getting into the deep end of the pool now. Any help is appreciated.. ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
