In the previous example in the explanation, the custom kernel is called MYKERNEL, but in the note is it called 4.2-STABLE? or can it be called MYKERNEL? The note seems a little ambiguous for someone who doesn't know explicitly what the note is saying beforehand. I think it means make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL but am I right? Is this line correct? -- David S. Jackson dsj@dsj.net =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= My friend has a baby. I'm writing down all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant. -- Steven Wright To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
