In this case its in /usr/src if you haven't put it somewhare else. > Maybe I am wrong, but unless you've 'make buildworld', you can't 'make > buildkernel'. you have to do it the 'old-fashoned way' That is wrong. (For those without the english skills to understand the semantics needed for Jud's answer:) Reread the section in the handbook -If you are building a new kernel without updating the source code (perhaps just to add a new option, such as IPFIREWALL) you can use either procedure. That goes doubly for the OP. Make sure to read the relevant sections carefully. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
