You don't even >want to think about building Gnome! Well, buildworld fell over - but was just that I ran out of space on /usr. Instead of building world again, I decided to: | make clean | make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL | make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL That all completed successful. I had assumed that: | make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL was equivalent to: | config MYKERNEL | cd ../compile/MYKERNEL | make cleandepend | make depend | make and would fall over too without building world first, but it seems not. Thanks for your help. Geoff
