If ye would add this and make ../.. the default then ye _must_ use the /sys/ARCH/compile/CONFIG. Else we would have to strip the kernel file of the machine line which contains the architecture and prepend that to the ../.. Moreso, the directory for conf lies in /sys/ARCH/conf, so we're splitting up the kernel conf files at architecture level, why not the compilation directories? I have to say I like the extension to config with the -d though. Makes it more customizable for the sysadmins. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl | Cum angelis et pueris, Junior Network/Security Specialist | fideles inveniamur *BSD & picoBSD: The Power to Serve... <http://www.freebsd.org>; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
