Sorry for the ignorance. I am a FreeBSD convert from Linux. I am accustomed to unpacking and building new packages on Linux in the /usr/local/src directory. Where is the equivalent directory in FreeBSD?

On another note, after building a new kernel for FreeBSD (which by the way is much easier to do in FreeBSD than Linux), I noticed it was trying to load /boot/kernel.conf which I'm guessing is created by default and loaded by /boot/loader.conf. I could not find in info from the Complete FreeBSD book or man pages on the values that can be created in /boot/kernel.conf. Would someone point me in the right direction as to where I can find some info about this file?

I do not subscribe to the questions mailing list, so please respond back to be personally.

Thanks in advance for any help,
