Or do I need to move everything from /archive -> >/usr/src? You will need the source in /usr/src when you compile it:-( However, I would leave it elsewhere and simply "ln -s ....../FreeBSD-Current/src /usr". That way you can also easily switch to FreeBSD-2.2/src, etc. if you want to try another system (like the releases in progress). If you do not like " /archive/pub/FreeBSD", edit the supfile to include you own prefix. BTW, John, since we have to (CV)sup a large number of distributions from the same place, it would be nice if the input would allow us to specify the common elements only once rather thanon each entry.
