So Mr. Gomez, you posted to the wrong list, eh? *hand-slap* *hand-slap* Now you're on the right one so....apparently you are trying to reconfigure your kernel. You should not try to edit the binary located in / as it is very difficult to figure out what you are doing there. Unless you are a mutant. I believe the URL below will help you in this endeavor: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html If you have problems or need more help, feel free to ask us here at questions@FreeBSD.org. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Walter Brameld Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
