The "config" method is required in this case. The "make buildkernel" method is only required if you're updating the kernel to later versions (in which case you're required to do a "make buildworld" to build the toolchain as well). -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you don't know what you are doing, do it neatly.
