It's got a tiny hard drive which can only hold a minimal install, and there isn't enough HDD to install /usr/src/sys. I've tried extracting /usr/src/sys onto another machine (in a different directory, temporarily symlinked as /usr/src/sys), and attempted to build a kernel. However, this other machine isn't running the same version and config complains of version errors. What is the easiest way to get a custom kernel for my machine without upgrading any of my others?? -- Matthew Emmerton || http://www.gsicomp.on.ca GSI Computer Services || P: +1 (800) 217-5409 (Canada) Technical Director || F: +1 (519) 335-6584 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
