Here's what I do, starting from a machine that has been customized enough to be part of our network, but for which I haven't yet built a custom kernel. For the purposes of illustration, I'll call the machine "box"; I'll enclose meta-actions in square brackets -- anything else is (literal) commands: 0. [Login as myself.] 1. cd /sys/i386/conf 2. sudo mkdir RCS 3. sudo cp GENERIC BOX 4. sudo ci -u BOX 5. sudo co -l BOX 6. sudo vi BOX [I may have another window open with /sys/i386/conf/LINT viewable in it, for reference. I may also have another window in which I can see the output of "dmesg", so I know what devices were found during the boot-probe.] 7. sudo ci -u BOX 8. sudo config BOX 9. cd ../../compile/BOX 10. sudo make depend && sudo make && sudo make install && sudo reboot Once this has been done for the first time, steps 2 - 4 are no longer needed.
