That's not the procedure required. From the comment section of /usr/src/Makefile: 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). 2. `make buildworld' 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC). 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).

After installing the kernel and shutting down the system, let it come up to the kernel loader. You can enter that stage by pressing the space bar several times.

Re: Single User Mode
Hello, The following sounds like you are having a LINUX problem. Threfore, you should post on the relevent LINUX Email list. This is a FreeBSD questions list. FreeBSD is not related to LINUX. It is a completely separate operating system. Now, if you wish to upgrade your environment to FreeBSD then this list will probably be a good resource for help if you need it - although, the installation of FreeBSD is straightforward enough and well enough documented that you might not need it. jerry > Hi guys > This is anirban here.Our offices linux server is connected in a network .I > have deleted the pango rpm pango 1.8.1-2 while working on it but i dont > delete the depencies of pango.

To that end I don't think there is a truly important distinction anyway. If you're just looking for the simple answer, Cliff, checking if you can switch to another virtual terminal, and looking at the output of ps and perhaps mount, should tell you which one you're in.

Since nobody else stepped forward with an answer, I'll try In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Cliff Sarginson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> typed: > No I can think of kludgy ways to do this, but I want to know the way > it should be done. How can you tell from with a shell script whether you > are in single-user mode or not ? The difference between starting single-user and starting multi-user is that init just starts a shell in one case, and in the other it runs /etc/rc then deals with /etc/ttys. Shutting down to single-user shuts down the things in /etc/ttys - and anything else - then launches a shell. There doesn't appear to be a way to ask init if it's running in single-user or multi-user mode. I'd say the best way is to look for a shell process with a ppid of 1. This can be fooled by having a shell started in /etc/ttys. Looking for things to be running in multi-user mode depends on them running, which may fail during (ab)normal system operation. Might I suggest that you're not really worried about being single-user, but instead worried about some condition that is usually true in single-user mode (quiescent file systems, no network daemons, etc)? If that's the case, you'd probably be better off checking that condition than checking for single-user mode. After all, given any assumption you make about single-user mode, I can violate that assumption if I really want to. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
