I was just recently trying to tinker will adding some device drivers to my Unix system, to play with them. Using the instructions from the handbook (4.1.2 - Make room in conf.c), I noticed that I didn't have a conf.c in the patch specified (/usr/src/sys/i386/i386). Thinking this weird, and knowing I had been seriously tinkering with the system source anyways, I went to reinstall from the 2.2-BETA CD I had burned from myself. I got all the way though ssys.aq when it bombed, saying the compressed data was invalid. So, thinking I had a bad copy, I downloaded ssys.* from ftp.freebsd.org, in /pub/FreeBSD/2.2-BETA/src... The same problem occured. Is it possible that the system source got corrupted? Or am I just being stupid? Kernel compiles work fine, but the handbook just doesn't seem to jove, and it claims to have last been updated 1/4/97. Any help getting a good ssys distribution would be helpful. -Brian
