Hi Subhashish; AFAICT GNU/hurd has no similarity to FreeBSD .. or anything ;). In any case, to be able to really overhaul the config system you have to understand how we build device drivers and how dependencies are built. You basically have to understand NewBus: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/newbus.html And you should also take a look at the last attempt to adopt the NetBSD approach (at the end newbus won): http://www.jp.freebsd.org/newconfig/ Hope that helps, Pedro.
