The easy way to do it: Open your kernel config file (a copy of GENERIC with a new name) on one console with ee (or vi if you prefer, or whatever) and the LINT file on another. Edit your file first by throwing out what you do not have, SCSI controlers, nics, 2nd floppy, 3rd serial port etc. This is *not* difficult. Just put a "#" before it, in stead of pressing an N in linux. Then have a look at LINT for additional options. They are all explained! I have done both the linux and the FreeBSD more than once. linux takes much more time :-) Marc Schneiders marc@oldserver.demon.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
