X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (X11; I; IRIX 6.2 IP22) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: upgrading kernel Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I upgraded my OS from 2.1.0 to 2.1.6, my friend (dbaker@neosoft.com) told me I need to upgrade the kernel software and recompile a kernel. I asked him where to get the kernel software and read in the books and documentation and so far I haven't been able to get the stuff. It says follow the directions for adding a package, but there is no kernel package and nowhere in that area does it say where to go... If I FTP into a mirror site, what directories to I go into, what files to I download, and where do I put them? Any help will be greatly appreciated... :) -- Richard J.
