After all the recent chat following that heads-up about how to build a world, I gave it a shot and rebuilt my system, gave the buildkernel and installkernel a KERNEL=MYCROFT setting, and adjusted /boot/loader.conf so it'd load /MYCROFT. All went well, but I noticed that the kernel build number reported by uname had changed. It said "FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #0," while the number had been above 0 before. I rebuilt the system today and it stayed at 0, but then I recompiled the kernel alone (the old way) and now it says "FreeBSD 4.1-RC #6." Does compiling a kernel with make buildkernel not increment this number? If not, shouldn't it? Bill -- William Denton : Toronto, Canada : http://www.miskatonic.org/ : Caveat lector.
