I've been told I can use (2) only after at least one "make buildworld", not on a vergin system. I'm looking for a detailed explanation, technical deep :) Someone could, please, enlight me ? :-) Many thanks in advance! (1) config -g KERNELFILE , cd ../../KERNELFILE, make dep, make, make install 2) make buildkernel, make installkernel -- bye!
