Is this possible (or already done) ? Well, what I do is place symlinks in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, pointing to the "real" kernel config file(s), which are in a different hierarchy, and in the "local" part of my CVS repository (vs. the FreeBSD part). It may be a hack, but it's been a fairly effective one for some time now. :-} Cheers, david (links to my resume at http://www.catwhisker.org/~david) -- David H.
