(In any case, you'd still be using the -release kernel include files, which are probably not going to work). AFAIK, the only recommended way is to remove /usr/src, put the -current source in there, and do 'make world' followed by rebuilding the kernel. (Warning: even with a Pentium, 'make world' will take 4-5 hours). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland | http://freefall.freebsd.org/~jraynard/ james@jraynard.demon.co.uk | jraynard@freebsd.org
