I'm not too unfamiliar with the unix environement, as I've been using linux for about 3 or 4 years, now, but I'm a brand new user of freeBSD. I installed the 4.0 verion yesterday. So please don't flame me if my questions have a too "newbie" level, or if I'm adressing my request to the wrong list. I wanted to build a new kernel following the instructions described in the handbook in order to use my TV card, but I encounterd several problems : 1) I discovered that the handbook has been written for the 3.4 freeBSD version, and that the execution of /usr/sbin/config reported some obsolete (or even unknown) keywords and drivers in my config file. Could someone tell me where I can find a manual to configure the kernel I'm running? 2) I use lilo to boot my machine. I read that I could choose the kernel to boot with the freeBSD boot loader, but can I do this with lilo? Because of course, I'm afraid to build a bad configured kernel. 3) All the devices are not listed in the handbook, so I wonder : do I just have to add the lines 'device bktr0' and 'device vr0' in order to have my bttv and D-Link cards recognized by the kernel? Thanks in advance for your answers. Flupke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
