I tried basically the same thing, running extract.sh off of the release off of NFS, especially the source directory because I am having a strange problem when I try to compile the kernel (it says it doesn't understand the %CLEAN directive in the generic makefile [which hasn't changed] and can't find a number of the scsi command prototypes). So I've been running with -current sources that I sup up-to-date, and I assumed something was wrong [missing file or such] with them so I installed the 0412 sources over them (so all the include directories would get updated) and am still having the same problem. Did I make a mistake or is that pretty much the only way to go about it? Thanks, -Jerry.
