You can blow away /kern.GENERIC for now and once you are upgraded you can blow away /kernel. 5.0 puts kernels in /boot/<kernel name> and each kernel includes its own set of modules rather than having /<kernel name> and a set of shared modules under /modules. You can also blow away modules you aren't using in /modules right now and once the installworld is done blow away all modules in /modules that aren't 3rd party modules. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
