Dear All, I am new to FreeBSD and I need a help from you all please.. I have installed FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE and did Binary Security Update from freebsd-update. Then I have tried to rebuild the kernel with Disk Quota support, but kernel source was not available in my new server. I gave a try with sysinstall, but it failed and the following error message was appeared. Warning: Can't find the `6.2-RELEASE-p4' distribution on this FTP server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any"). Please help me to install kernel source and rebuild kernel. Regards Chaminda Indrajith

Make sure you have edit these lines: *default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6 changing CHANGE_THIS to cvsup or cvsup4 or something near you, and tag=RELENG_6 to tag=RELENG_6_2. Check if you have the command csup installed, if you do, then do: # csup -L 2 stable-supfile If you don't, install the port cvsup and do: # cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile I think this will work. The directory /usr/src must already be created. This is for installing the sources for the full system... If you want only the kernel sources manually fetch using FTP the ssys.* files from the src directory of 6.2-RELEASE. Also fetch the install script, install.sh, on the same directory. Then run it :-) Oh... about building... see the handbook, I'm sure to forget some step. Miguel Ramos
