I have been meaning to cut a CD and see if it's still broken in 4.4-PRERELEASE but I've been simply overwhelmed lately. If nobody else gets around to it first, I'll make a concentrated effort to test this over the weekend, but I thought I point out the problem so folks could look at it beforehand, and in case I don't manage to find time for it. Here's the scoop. If you install ONLY the kernel sources (which, according to sysinstall, should allow you to compile a kernel) you are unable to build a kernel. GENERIC won't work, I even tried a super stripped down kernel and it still wouldn't compile. However, if you install FULL sources, it works just fine. I'm pointing this out because I'm guessing that it's something that is easily overlooked in testing - most testers install full source, right? So ... I don't know whether this has been fixed in 4.4-PRERELEASE, but it WAS broken in 4.3-RELEASE. If nobody else manages to verify this by Saturday, I'll make a serious effort to test and find out if it's still an issue. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
