However, I have never tried to install all the sources, and then start deleting stuff and still expect compiles to work. :-) There's at least one reference to ../../../include/ in my .depend file, so you would be well off keeping /usr/src/include, as it's only 616K on my Dec 18 3.4-STABLE system. Keeping lib/ as well, would probably be a good idea, although you'll likely be able to get along without it. Basically, Duke, what you might want to do, in the name of experimental science, is try to delete all the directories under /usr/src/ BUT sys/, include/ and lib/, and see if you can successfully make a kernel. If not, rm -rf /usr/src and start installing distributions again :-) According to the defaults in sysinstall, the "kern-developer" option just installs the sys source option... No includes or lib... But I've never installed a system with partial sources, so I can't say for sure where dependencies lie. I'm not as familiar with the source tree as many of the people here, though. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> 50% Owner, Technical and Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
