Basically I had just installed 6.0-RELEASE from the CD, got the kernel sources 
  from an ftp server (using sysinstall) and then proceded to build the kernel 
as I mentioned in another post (traditional method).  Basically you're saying 
I should grab the entire source tree and then build everything before the 
kernel?  Just checking before I go ahead...having said that as it's a clean 
install there's nothing too vital on the system so won't matter to much if I 
trash it.
