The QUESTION what to do. Once ..., I have recompiled 386BSD no problem then. If you have full 1.R sources (and you should grab at least all the ksrc files, though I'd recommend the entire thing since you also need bits like /usr/src/usr.sbin/config and it just starts to get messy otherwise!) then you can use my upgrade script as a guide - look on freebsd.cdrom.com, it's pretty obviously named! :-) "in file ... can not find "dirent.h" Soundms like the includes are messed up somehow. If you get the full sources, you can go into /usr/src/include and do a `make install', though the update script will do this (among many other things) for you anyway. Has anybody already compiled a 1.1R kernel on a 1.0R system? Or should I make a bindist update first, then recompile?? You should update the entire system rather than trying to do just the kernel - a LOT of things have changed between 1.0R and 1.1! If you haven't got the disk space for full source then I recommend that you do a complete 1.1R bindist install instead, after backing up your /etc and user files. Jordan
