The reason I am asking is that somehow, the 'linux' directory got emptied when I used mc to make a copy of it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc2, which then built just fine and I'm running it. But editing the script so that it only does the stuff from the rsync line on, I have not been able to duplicate its flawless performance, instead getting this near the end of the proceedure: ------ [...] tags/v2.6.14-rc2 sent 563 bytes received 2778 bytes 954.57 bytes/sec total size is 779 speedup is 0.23 rsync: link_stat "/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/info/alternates" (in pub) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(812) ------ I have now re-ran this 4 times, each time doing an rm -fR on the 'linux' directory, with the same results as above each time. Is this normal, or am I missing something important (and probably a 'duh' moment too) that it takes to do a re-run? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
