Because it is more typing? One can actually put KERNCONF in /etc/src.conf. In fact, one can put multiple kernel files in KERNCONF and the first one in the list will be the one installed, all will be built. This is how I share kernels over nfs to multiple machines from one build machine by mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj on the target machines and just running make installkernel. The target machines have their kernelname set in their own /etc/src.conf. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
