Where did you get the ISO from? Is it for the exact same version as the system you're already running? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You only have the kernel sources, you need the rest of the base sources and a make buildworld before you can compile the kernel. You might want to consider installing cvsup (pkg_add -rv cvsup-without-gui) and getting the latest version of the complete sources. for more details, the handbook is always a good source of information.

Also I tried the suggestion: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME make installkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME And I just got the message: make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop There is nothing in my /usr/src directory besides the /sys dir.

In this case, where the machine is remote and you could lock yourself out, it's probably better to default to accept instead. Eventually, there will be a firewall rule denying unmatched packets, and even then you have to be careful about backing out the ruleset automatically if you lock yourself out. > > I'm able to run: > > > > /usr/sbin/config COMPUTERNAME > > cd ../../compile/COMPUTERNAME > > > > When I run > > > > make depend > > > > Everything runs fine until it dies with the error: > > > > make: don't know how to make iconv.h. > > Stop*** Error code 2 > > Stop in /usr/src/sys/modules.*** > > Error code 1 > > > > I've checked and this file is in my /usr/src/sys directory.What am I > > doing wrong?

Either way, he needs to have sources that match his system, and the "old" way will work fine when that is the case. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You might want to try the "newer" method of building a kernel. cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME make installkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME Cheers Tim -- Tim Aslat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au P: +61 8 82243020M: +61 0401088479 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
