Thanks for the attached file. The funny thing is that I tried "locate kernel.conf" and it doesn't find anything. Is that because I've never recompiled my kernel before (it's a fresh install not even 2 weeks old)? Or did my install forget to include that file? Also, should I just add your kernel.conf file (customized to my own settings) and reboot the box? or do i need to recompile the kernel for apm to work now? Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mike Galvez Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2000 12:19 PM To: Bennett Hui Cc: smujohnson@home.com; questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: APM or /etc/hosts I'm using the 4.0 release & compiled a custom kernel; however, The GENERIC config file has support for apm. To find the path try: locate kernel.conf I have attached a text file with the content of the /boot directory and kernel.conf file.
