My familiar /etc/conf/<stuff>.d/ directory doesn't exist. 1. cd /sys/i386/conf 2. cp GENERIC MYKERNEL 3. vi MYKERNEL [tweak to taste] 4. config MYKERNEL 5. cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL 6. make all install 7. reboot No /dev entries should need to be made. don't exist as well. I'm downloading the source dists. Do I need to get all the source distribution to recompile the kernel ? For now, unfortunately yes. 4) The DEC machine of course has the DEC depca ethernet adapter. Is there any support for this card at all ? Yes, look at the le0 driver. 5) Just how badly will my 3c509 behave on the system ? It may throw the occasional tantrum, rave incoherently, drink too much and be an embarassment in public, but other than that... :-) having the source dists yet, it doesn't appear on my system. Is any kind of NFS a no-no ? No. Now if I can just find motif... (tvm gotta go.) Check the FAQ for information on where to buy it from.. Jordan -- Jordan K.
