I just read it and it looks like it is talking about a new way that kernel builds are going to be organized. I'm not sure the new method will even be noticable to people who aren't mucking with kernel internals. Add to that this chapter is not referrenced, as far as I can tell, by anything else in the handbook (i.e. not reachable from the TOC). I like C, maybe I love C, but anything that talks about how config files are translated into pre-processor macros, just is not something I want my friends exposed to unnecessarily. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
