What internal parameter? Perhaps it can be tuned without manually changing the sources every time you update. If it is not tunable and you think that it would be helpful if it was, then you could probably ask that it is made configurable without a kernel rebuild, by submitting a problem report. But all this is probably wrong, since you did not mention what your local changes were :) I keep a few local changes to my kernel in my tree, and I manually apply those after I update my sources, but you will probably hate the manual merging and testing of local changes. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
