Hi guys,
just as I've been helping out already I did actually have this lot in my
Wiki:
http://wiki.optiplex-networks.com/xwiki/bin/view/FreeBSD/Installing_FreeBSD

Please take note however that the *Buildworld* environment needs to have
*all sources* installed into the system in order to compile and build.
This however should really only affect people who wish to use *FreeBSD
Jails* as standard non-Jail configured systems will run fine with the
default selection above.

Which is exactly the same as Andy has just mentioned below.
The rest of the procedure then is pretty trivial....
I think Dave is getting confused about how to use the sysintall software
which I did at first too a few years back when I started with FreeBSD
but now that I am used to it, I don't suffer any more.
The next release of FreeBSD won't have that any more from what I recall
reading and will change to something else? - Correct me if wrong...
Regards,

Hi Dave,
I didn't find it total plain sailing myself when I did this for the
first time a few months back.
Ok, so I think you are sitting in "/usr/src" trying to run the make
buildworld right? If you are getting the error you mentioned then I
think it means you are missing the Makefile? Ie if you do an ls there
is no file called "Makefile". In that case you need to install it,
which if via sysinstall you need to go:
Configure
Distributions
src
base (this has the Makefile)
then select ok, and choose FTP etc etc,
If you have the other sources already then you should be good to go,
cheers Andy.
