Yes, I am still working on getting this cvsup process right. Initially, I followed the instructions on the freebsd web page which included a pkg_add, and that cvsuped everything and built this 5.0 kernel. After that, I removed /usr/src, copied the provided stable-supfile into /etc, and did a cvsup /etc/stable-supfile. Now, when I try to make world, it is failing at unctrl.h (as my previous message described). > > Secondly, maybe somebody has committed code that utilizes the SpeedStep(tm) > technology from Intel which would take your 700Mhz CPU down to 550Mhz if you > were not plugged into wall power.

I am building another kernel from my latest cvsup'ed source, which might fix it. And I have been working for a while on trying to get this make world to complete. > > -Jr > > -- > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, (space for rent, cheap!) | > | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | > | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- T.J.
