^^
Now, I don't claim to be a unix wizard or a expert sysadmin or anything,
but it is my understanding that this number (marked with ^^) is supposed
to be incremented every time I build a new kernel -- i.e. if i
add/remove/reconfigure devices, or whatnot.
So why isn't it?
Here's how I typically do things:
cd /sys/i386/conf
config STARFLEET
cd ../../compile/STARFLEET
make depend ; make all ; make install
Is this command set somehow causing the version# to not be incremented?
Is this all just a foolish and frivolous line of thought?
Please respond.. thanks
