hi henning, thanks for your quick response. i did not install the bin86 package because the (short) pkg description daid it is a 16 bit compiler. on further examination i see that it is the assembler used to create the 16-bit bootsector. i should have read it more carefully the 1st time.. :) i am downloading the package right now.
thanks again for your help. //daryl Henning Makholm wrote: > Daryl Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > i am trying to compile a 2.0.34 kernel and getting the following > > error message: > > > > as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s > > make[1]: as86: Command not found > > Do you have the bin86 package installed? > If so, something is wrong and you might want to try to reinstall it. > It not, install it. > > -- > Henning Makholm > http://www.diku.dk/students/makholm -- Daryl Williams Network Administrator mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ShareWave, Inc.
