The direction I'm working towards is building the kernel and modules at the same time under a common configuration and not part of 'world' at all. ie: the modules will be build under "GENERIC" along with the generic kernel. If you build a highly tuned kernel, your modules are tuned as well. Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
