I still got the missing file in my daily report every day. I looked on the cvsweb, and I can't find (unless I'm using it wrong) any mention of an /etc/acpi file or directory at all! Where would this message have came from? But besides that prob... On my other machine, expanding out base3.7 from release and copying MAKEDEV over to /dev and running "MAKEDEV all" does not create the acpi device... however, copying over the one from the most recent snapshot does. so, following the normal src compile instructions, (as referenced here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld, especially the line that says "If building -current: Update /dev and /etc, with the changes listed in current.html.") However looking at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html, there are no mention of the new dev. I can only assume that something is missing. Is there more missing from this file (especially since I receive the missing ./etc/acpi error) thanks b ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
