Actually, my compiles failed because 4.0's shell and other utilities use 4.0's new system calls. The advice I was given was (thanks Ruslan Ermilov): 0. `uname -r' returns 3.x 1. make buildworld 2. make buildkernel 3. make installkernel 4. reboot with new kernel in signle-user mode 5. make -DNOINFO installworld 6. make buildkernel installkernel (again) 7. make installworld (again, without -DNOINFO) Regards, Phone: (250)387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: (250)387-5766 Team Leader, Sun/DEC Team Internet: Cy.Schubert@uumail.gov.bc.ca UNIX Group, ITSD, ISTA Province of BC "COBOL IS A WASTE OF CARDS."
