No problems with installing/configuring X or ssh or Postfix. My questions: I compiled a new (lighter) kernel and it works great but I found the path mentioned in dmesg or `uname -v' a bit strange, its the place of compile: peter@k7:~:0>uname -v FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Fri Oct 24 01:12:56 CEST 2003 root@k7.localdomain:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MYKERNEL-K6 Does that mean I cannot remove the old kernel-source? I did a `configure MYKERNEL-K6;make depend;make; make install' just as mentioned in the on-line FreeBSD handbook. Why isn't the path something with /boot/kernel? arp: Frequently I get this message on the first console: arplookup 213.84.240.105 failed: host is not on local network I searched the inter-net, but I did not found a satisfying answer. 213.84.240.105 is hanging on the inter-net, an FreeBSD has a local IP-adres. So why this arplookup? What causes this lookup? With kind regards, Peter Terpstra -- Date & time: vrijdag 24 oktober : 21 uur, 10 minuten en 17 seconden.
