Or > is that the only way it can be done? You need to load the ssys.* distribution first. This is the kernel source. Once you've done that, cd to /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and look at the file called GENERIC. Make a copy of this - for this example, I'll call it MYKERNEL. Edit MYKERNEL to suit your needs - you can see examples of what you can do in LINT. Once that's done, do the following: config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend make make install Reboot to activate your new kernel. I recommend that you change only a few things at a time until you're comfortable with what you're doing. If you botch things up, the previous kernel can be booted by typing 'kernel.old' at the boot prompt. This is covered in the FreeBSD handbook (and FAQ) which can be found at 'http://www.freebsd.org/'. > Also, whats the cmd to mount a CD again?
