I'd do a diff -c and make sure that this is the only difference. If it is, then go ahead and rename it. Be sure to do another "config". You probably applied the patch twice, and the second time it said something like "patch already applied, assume -R?". If you answered yes, then the patch would have been reverted. > How do >these files come into play. does the kernel read them when it is building? > >I very much appreciate your help in my understanding of these things. "config" reads the file (and others) and generates the Makefile which is used to build everything. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
