Re: FreeBSD 4.3-Stable root@darkside.shadoworld:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DARKSIDE Sup, Newbies, I've been running FreeBSD for a couple of years now, and I still consider myself newbie to the whole experience. Mostly, I had the help of a friend who was a programmer and he pretty much helped me get my box up and stable from Day-1. Lately, my friend has gone M.I.A., and there are some key changes I need to make to my box: specifically I must enable multiple CPU support (I just upgraded the machine with another processor). So, my question is this: I know how to compile a customer kernel from scratch -- but what I would like to do is take my current kernel and use that one as a basis for the re-compile. Is there a way for me to either decompile and then recompile my current kernel, thereby preserving my current system settings. Or, better still, a way to extract the configs used at the time of compile and use those when I recompile. Any help in this is greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for all your considerations. Peace. -Alex Vargas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
