I just finished doing the 'make -j 4 buildworld' command and am now going to compile the kernel as part of the process to upgrade. The next thing I do is a 'make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN' and then I want to do a 'make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN' after. However, when I do the 'make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN' it gives me a message at the beginning saying: "Don't forget to do a 'make depend'. I am wondering, should I just go ahead and do the 'make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN' command without doing any make depend? Or do I have to: 1. first go into my /usr/src/sys/i386/conf directory and do a 'config MYKERN' 2. then cd into the directory return by 'config MYKERN' and execute a 'make depend' 3. execute a 'make' and 'make install' 4. then go on to do the 'make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERN' command Thanks in advance. Regards Desmond
