Hi all

I'm using FreeBSD in production since 3 years but I've a little question
I would ask since then:

_exactly_ why on a freshly installed system (no cvsup, no build
anything) to compile just the kernel I must use the "old way" (1) and
can't use new way (2) ?

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!

Ale
