But it is not so hard: cd /usr/src rm -rf * will do it. Well, it will take a little time, maybe a minute or so (unless you have softupdates in which case it will be a few seconds). Applying ctm will recreate all these directories. The OS needs nothing in /usr/src to operate. (If you have a custom kernel in sys/i386/conf, maybe you want to save it first.) -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu 307 Math Science Building stephen@showme.missouri.edu Department of Mathematics stephen@missouri.edu University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone (573) 882 4540 Fax (573) 882 1869 http://math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
