Yes..i did a make buildkernel first... Since i got no response (i know
it' hasn't even been a day) and i was overly anxious...i saved the
custom kernel i had configured (but NOT built from as i wanted to test
a GENERIC first) and then blew away the /usr/src and /usr/obj
directories i cvsuped again all of the src and have run a make
buildworld and am currently running make buildkernel hopefully i had
just botched something.
One thing i started wondering about.... I kept my /var/db/sup direcory
in tact..so it should have all of the stuff i have checked out or
whatever the terminology is. So when i ran cvsup it downloaded
everything, why did it not think that i just had the differences between
my checkout files and the cvsup repository?
Thanks,
Aaron
