Typo on my part. In the posting AFIK.
I tried it a few times, though not to say I didn't type it wrong each
time. It's late now and that machine is currently off, so will have to
wait till much later, like late tomorrow.
I can't copy/paste from the FreeBSD machine to this one, and I have no
idea how to copy paste from the command line/terminal screen, to a
floppy (or anything else!) but the error was very short, but almost
literaly "dont know how to build PPSGENERIC" No other details were
shown.
Michael:
As to 'cd /usr/src' before issuing the make command, yes, of course I
did that, but you are right to to ask.
Nite nite.
