Greetings. i'm fairly new at FreeBSD. but i'm having a good look at understanding it. i'm a litle confused about the whole kernel config file. i would like to have a kernel as thin as possible, and that can load modules, to be as flexible as possible with the device set i can use/add in the future. the build system is quite forward, but what i dont get quite clearly, so here are some questions... the NOTES files contain much more options than the generic file do i need them in my configuration file? if they are included into the configuration file are they built as modules or straight to the kernel. if they are not in the configuration file will they still be compiled as modues ? do i need all the modules to be present on the system if i use devfs ? Is there any utility software out there that i can use to "design" my configuration file something like on linux? again, thank you Sandro Noel
