Hi, in the handbook Chapter 8 Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel, part 8.3 it says 1. Run config(8)<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=config&sektion=8>to generate the kernel source code. # /usr/sbin/config *MYKERNEL* 2. Change into the build directory. config(8)<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=config&sektion=8>will print the name of this directory after being run as above. # cd ../compile/*MYKERNEL* For FreeBSD versions prior to 5.0, use the following form instead: # cd ../../compile/*MYKERNEL* 3. Compile the kernel. # make depend # make 4. Install the new kernel. # make install ------------------------------------ But When I do # /usr/sbin/config *MYKERNEL * The system reminds me to do "make clean depend" before "make depend" but in the third step of the handbook "make clean depend" doesnt appear. I know it works in both ways but I would like to know if it is not better to include the command just in case. Regards Nadow
