Why do you want to replace the kernel and ports on the INSTALL cd? If you build your own distribution you can take what kernel (and what packages) you want much more easily. A description is found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/advanced.html#CUSTREL > Where can I find the patched kernel source and can it be replaced on the > install cd? In otherwords is ther anything in there to verify the eact size? > i.e. checksum I think you like to try the "Staying -STABLE" process. There is a branch in the CVS repository that is mainly the released version of FreeBSD plus the security patches. try: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html and set in your cvsupfile the following line *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 to *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_3 ... or whatever release you want to follow. > > Is there anything like LIDS for freebsd? Yes. It is called "TrustedBSD". More can be found under: http://www.trustedbsd.org/ > > Has there been any thought to removing services from the freebsd core like > telnetd and putting them in the packages leaving the core to be just that > the core. > That "removing services" thing has discussed recently. If the process goes on from the FreeBSD 4.4 release onward no telnetd will be started anymore - if you want it that way. There will be a new option in the sysinstall program.
