I am trying to compile a custom kernel (ATHOS) and all seems to be well 
untill I do the make install at which point it says:

chf etc.
mv  etc.
install -c -m 555 -o root -g wheel -fschg kernel/
install: kernel: No such file or directory
***Error code 1

Stop

Now the funny thing is, it does the same thing if I try to compile the 
GENERIC kernel so I suspect it is a problem with my source files and not 
the config file.  I did my first install (from the WC CDROM) using the 
"novice - user with X suport"  option, then I tried to install the kernel 
source package from the CDROM but I couldn't figure out what that package 
was so I just reinstalled (I mounted the file systems in the labeling 
step) using the kernel developer option to get the sources.  When I did 
this it said something about my / fs being read only.

Could this have screwed up the source?

Any ideas how to recover?

What is the name of the source package on the CDROM and is it in the /all 
directory and do I use the same procedure to install it as I did for the 
regular packages (xcoral etc)?

Also, does anyone know why how to make the /stand/sysinstall program 
recognize the CDROM?

Thanks
Charlie Reese
