My attention span isn't long enough for Boot in single user mode ( -s ) , mount -a and build your kernel. This saves a lot of space in memory and you are not swapping/paging that much. This is wat i did to get FreeBSD kernel build. (unable to build NetBSD-current anymore, too many conflicts) Regards, Gerard. -- Gerard J van der Grinten pa0gri@net.pa0gri.ampr.org [44.137.1.1] Elzenlaan 8 gerard.vdgrinten@wldelft.nl (temp. qrl) 3467 TJ Driebruggen gvdg%net.pa0gri.ampr.org@uhm.ampr.org (home) Netherlands Phone - Home:(+031)-34871606 Office: (+031)-15-569622
