Okay, build it somewhere and make sure it's stripped of all the stuff you are not after. Then grab the kernel.flp (it always has kernel.gz, right), mount it and see if the size of the kernel you built (after you gzip it) would replace the one on that floppy. I hope you know how to mount those floppies ;-) If not then try and see http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe for some help on this..... -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington "The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: 254 2 313985-9 Fax: 254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD."
