Yes, it does use the same kernel. If you read the jail(8) man page, it discusses setting up a jail on a 4.x system. The first section contains This example shows how to setup a jail directory tree containing an entire FreeBSD distribution: D=/here/is/the/jail cd /usr/src mkdir -p $D make world DESTDIR=$D cd etc make distribution DESTDIR=$D cd $D/dev sh MAKEDEV jail cd $D ln -sf dev/null kernel Clearly, this doesn't work on a 5.0 system if you want to set up a 4.7 jail. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
