I have read (actually printed out the whole thing) the manual, and the LINT file for guidance. They both fell short for a couple options. Any response to these would be very much appreciated. What I want to know is if I should use these options, why or why not. The system I'm configuring is my home box, but I will use it as a small scale web server. The processor is an AMD K6-2. I plan to do some programming, but nothing too complex right now. options "CD9660_ROOT" # I do have option CD9660 already options NSWAPDEV=20 # POSIX - Do I need posix for basic day to day usage, # or is this geared towards programming compatibility? options "P1003_1B" options "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING" options "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L" options "MSGBUF_SIZE=40960" options PPS_SYNC controller pnp0 # I don't have any devices right now that are PnP # but should I use it for the future? options LKM # What LKM's are around that I could use? options DDB (or DDB_UNATTENDED) # I noticed the GENERIC doesn't have them options INVARIANTS Thanks again, Jon Passki To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
