Re: how to restore /usr/src
how can i reinstall the original /usr/src Oh that's really easy. Don't fret. I delete it all the time and get it back in the following way. In the handbook, there's a section about synchronizing your source: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html Use 'cvsup' or 'csup'; if your system is newer 'csup' will be part of the system. Find your 'standard-supfile' file (probably in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile), copy it to your home directory and modify it by changing the lines *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org (change 'CHANGE_THIS' to 'cvsup11.us' for example) *default release=cvs tag=CVS TAG (see below) and then run 'csup standard-supfile' or 'cvsup standard-supfile'. 'cvsup' is in /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui if you need to install it. CVS TAGs are explained in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't recollect the exact location (am in office, don't have a CD with me) but its in a directory named src and has many files in it. These files are split archives of the original /usr/src tree. There's also a shell script called ''install.sh'' which can be run to combine all these files and extract to a specific location. By default the extracted to location is $DESTDIR/usr/src. Since you want to install to /usr/src, set $DESTDIR to /. So in effect, the following commands should extract the sources to /usr/src for you. (I assume you've inserted the FreeBSD and its mounted at some path). # cd /path/on/cd/where/sources/are # DESTDIR=/ ./install.sh all Hope that helps. - Rakhesh http://rakhesh.net/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
