You should have a symlink /sys -> : /usr/src/sys; some software may depend on it, but I haven't checked. Yes. You can in all versions of FreeBSD >= 3.0 (and maybe in 2.2.8R as well, but I'm less sure of that). I do it all the time. I no longer have /usr/src on some of my machines. Bruce did an excellent job of ridding the tree of the /usr/src -> and /sys -> symlink dependencies. I routine build out of /home/imp/FreeBSD/src. In fact, my /usr/src sym link points to a directory that hasn't existed on my system for quite some time.
