RE: kernel compile woes
speaking of the new compile method, what does that do as far as memory usage is concerned? i'm using a p166 16MB machine as my NAT/firewall and have had to add virtual memory space every time i've upgraded using the old method (i'm at 4.7 current now). am i stuck with having to do this every time even with the newer current method or should i just increase my memory and be done with it?

The new method just automates all the steps in the old method, using tools in /usr/obj if they exist. It won't take any less memory, and may well take more. So increase your memory. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

This is because you are trying to build a 5.0-CURRENT kernel on presumably an older version of FreeBSD. You can't upgrade this way. So, one thing I did was rm -rf /usr/src/sys and then cvsup'ed with: *default host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=. *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-sys Now I get: config: ../../compile/ANDY: No such file or directory Can anyone tell me how to dig my way out of this one? Again, you're trying to upgrade in the wrong way. 5.0 uses a different kernel compile directory (../compile/ANDY, relative to the kernel configuration directory), but your config(8) binary expects it in a different location. Are you really trying to upgrade to 5.0-CURRENT? Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
