From: Sheldon Hearn To: Robert Garrett Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: docs/13194: Bad info in handbook/kernelconfig Date: Tue, 17 Aug 1999 13:42:49 +0200 > The handbook chapter on building the kernel suggest that if config wont > rebuild your kernel you update just config... > > this is bogus If that's what the handbook said, I'd agree that it's bogus. But it doesn't. The manpage says that you'll probably need a new config to build a new kernel. It doesn't mention breakage at all in the paragraphs you're complaining about. I think it's good advice, since a mismatched config can often cause breakage. We're not saying that it's the _only_ cause of breakage. May I close your PR? Ciao, Sheldon.
