See Chapter 5 of the FreeBSD handbook. It covers the topic pretty thoroughly. Basically you need to make a custom kernel configuration file, then use the "config" program to set up the files, then type make in the new directory that config creates. The FreeBSD handbook is in HTML format in /usr/share/doc/handbook, and the latest version is at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
