Make sure that your have a /usr/src/sys directory and that /sys is symlinked to /usr/src/sys. Then, go to the root directory and: cd /; cat /YOUR_DRIECTORY/ssys.a[a-q] | tar xvzf - Go into /sys/i386/conf and try to make the GENERIC kernel first. Do this by: config GENERIC cd ../../compile/GENERIC make depend all If that works, use GENERIC as a template for your custom kernel and repeat the previous steps: cd /sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC MYKERNEL vi MYKERNEL config MYKERNEL cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL make depend all install That's it! - K.C.
