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
