A couple of questions that I could find answers for in the handbook: 1. What are the _BP cvs tags used for in the freebsd cvs repository? 2. I've seen someone with a version of FreeBSD 5.2.1-p1. Is there a minor update patch for 5.2.1, or is that just the name of current? 3. And on a seperat

I have a pentium 200 with FreeBSD that I'll like to install a couple of ports to, but I don't want to compile them on that machine because of it's slow speed. Several of the ports don't have packages available so I have to compile them. I've noticed that there is a make packages in the ports Make

Kernel Questions

A few questions on the FreeBSD kernel: 1. If I specify a driver in the config file with a device command, does that always mean that it's compiled in staticly and not as a module? 2. How does make decide what to compile as a module? Is it everything not compiled into the kernel that it can com

Dual-boot FreeBSD 4.x/5.x
