The system didn't have the sources, so I downloaded the first CD ISO and extracted them from there into: /usr/src/sys Could there be more sources that I need to extract? Also I tried the suggestion: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME <wait a bit> make installkernel KERNCONF=COMPUTERNAME And I just got the message: make: don't know how to make buildkernel. Stop There is nothing in my /usr/src directory besides the /sys dir.
