I was following the directions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html for me 4.5 machine, and I think that the command in the example is wrong. cat /cdrom/sys/ssys.[a-d]* | tar -xzvf should be: cd / cat /cdrom/src/ssys.[a-d]* | tar -xzvf - The path (at least) on my 4.5 cd is /cdrom/src not /cdrom/sys. Without the cd /, you will spew what you untar wherever you are (like I just did). Also tar -f expects a filename, '-' means STDIN. If I'm wrong, I guess just ignore me. -Dale To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
