That's the number of times you've compiled your kernel without cleaning the old config directory up first. The way to clean it depends on how you're compiling your kernel.

Please read the kernel compilation section of the handbook. - jim -- jim mock jim@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
