You will need to fetch the FreeBSD source tree first: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html#STABLE If you still have your installation CDs, you should be able to run sysinstall and just reinstall the src distribution ( Configure -> Distributions -> select 'src', select 'All' ). Then you can apply the patch. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
