Subject:   Recompiling Kernel with Live File System
Message-ID:  <01I067NEGI1E00AU8C@HOOVER.STANFORD.EDU>

I would like to recompile the kernel (generic) on my office machine
(2.0.5), but I did not install the kernel souces and I don't think
there's enough space (maybe 25 mb) to do so.  There's a usr/src
directory, but nothing in it.

If I created /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and copyied the generic kernel
to that location and edited the file, could I then use to configure
and compile it:

/cdrom/usr/bin/config NEWKERNEL	

and then instead of

cd ../../compile/NEWKERNEL

/cdrom/usr/src/sys/compile/NEWKERNEL 

to compile it?  Then perhaps make and make install in

/cdrom/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/make, maybe adding the path
to NEWKERNEL on the hard drive?

Doesn't sound like this will work, but maybe there's a way.

Thanks

Annelise
