I don't have much to add to my kernel but I do need to recompile it. For instance I want USER_LDT so I can try to put WINE on the air. My most recent attempt was with FreeBSD 4.1 and in the course of recompiling ( which went a very long way thru bfore erroring out) I got "ERROR CODE 1". when I went searching for the meaning of that error code I couldn't find it either. All this is making me feel terribly stupid ( Don't say it :). is there anybody out there that can help me? is there anybody in the Salt Lake City to Ogden area that I might call to get me restarted? Anybody in the Western US? When I get all those errors, what do I need to do to "clean house" for the next try? I've learned the hard way that is essential too. I have a long copy of the display of the entire compile process if needed. In Short, my installation is off the 4.1 CD complete with the sources distribution I told it "All". Actually I have gone back, rm -dP /src from the /usr directory, then from /stand/sysinstall went back and reloaded the source distribution "ALL". but no joy. it still errored out somewhere near the end. i used the instructions from the handbook for versions after 4.0. PLEASE !! If someone can help, please answer directly to me at wa5qjh@xmission.com rather that some other forum. Thanks for anyones' help. I really need it!!!
