That's not a whole heck of a lot of information on kernel.conf, I just looked. Is it really something we are meant to modify or is it something that get's changed by another program? Perhaps this is more of a new thing to put on the list of "things that should be documented better" than as a third option for avoiding kernel compiles? As for the two ways of avoiding kernel compiles, this is something I could write about if I knew what other people do (I just do snd/pcm and apm -- I'd like to know what else you can get away with). I won't have a GENERIC kernel back again until I am in the throws of installing 4.7-RELEASE, but that will be soon and will give a good opportunity to try things out. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
