Yes, at this point. The procedure is basically: 1. Compile and install a new kernel. It's generally best to do this before you install new utilities. 2. cd /usr/src/share/mk; make install 3. cd /usr/src/usr.bin/make; make depend && make && make install 4. cd /usr/src; make build Since you're compiling a current tree rather than a release tree, there may be little gotchas here and there, depending on the exact date you supp'd or ftp'd the code. A quick post to port-sparc@netbsd.org or current-users@netbsd.org will get you the solution to those. I build regularly on an IPX (it takes about 12 hours), so if anyone wants to e-mail me with questions, I'd be happy to answer them. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
