"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."

Could you please elaborate?

How do I clean out the config directory to reset the counter to zero
for both methods of compiling new kernels?

Thanks
Joe

Because you used RELENG_4 as the tag in your supfile and not the tag for
4.6.2-RELEASE.

If you have a 4.6.2-RELEASE CD.

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.  Also, adding to and recompiling GENERIC
probably isn't the best idea.  Please read the kernel compilation
section of the handbook.
