The custom kernel config file is in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf I did more reading from the FreeBSD website handbook and it said if you installed only the kernel source code that you need to compile the traditional way using: /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/config CUSTOM then change to the build directory /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM then run make depend. All of this worked just fine, but now when I run make install I get the following error message: You must build a kernel first. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM. # /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM What is the problem here?

The /usr/src/sys directory should contain the kernel source code. Your claim that the /usr/src directory is empty is strange since you also say you are compiling a custom kernel. Where is the custom kernel config file if not under /usr/src/sys//conf? __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca --------------------------------- Yahoo!
