Get cvsup, and update your source tree to -STABLE -- look at the file /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile then 'cd /usr/src' and 'make upgrade' This is the a.out to ELF transition process. This requires about 320Mb free space in /usr. Once this has finished, recompile your kernel. Also, recompile GENERIC and copy it to /kernel.GENERIC Good luck! gjvc -- [gjvc] Powered by SMP FreeBSD "256 pennies is one hexadecimal dollar." -- D.E.
