How? You enter a command like "config GENERIC" and config outputs: Don't forget to do a ``make depend'' Kernel build directory is ../compile/GENERIC Better still, change config to not require write access to the source tree, defaulting it's path to /sys and allowing that to be changed by a switch. Then you could do: cd /my/private/directory config /sys/alpha/conf/GENERIC make depend && make all && make install or: cd /my/private/directory config -p /i/put/my/sources/here MYKERNEL make depend && make all && make install -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137
