You've got it backwards. GENERIC is the kernel that installs with the system. The kernel that contains all possible options is LINT.

Look at GENERIC to see how your kernel is configured at install time. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
