I have been making my own kernel since I first started using FreeBSD back in 4.5 but I want to get more in-depth with the process. My questions are: - What are ALL of the different make options/switches for the actual kernel build besides -j4 and specifying your kernel configuration name? Are there any tricks or useful switches? - How does one compile a 4.9 kernel without sound at all? I mean NO sound, I run servers and I don't want even the modules, can I turn compilation off on them so it compiles faster? How about USB and Firewire? - Is there a new process for compiling a kernel on 5.2.1 and how is this accomplished? I have not been able to find documentation on this topic and I've noticed some new directories and a makefile in the new conf folder. Can someone enlighten me? Please CC me on any replies as I am not currently on the list. Thanks! Octavian
