What is supposed to increment this and > where is it recorded? It is increased if you reuse the same kernel config file for kernel building. So, if you edit the file each time or do some other thing to it that causes the mtime (modification time) or size or whatever to change, it will no longer be recognized as unmodified and the number will stay at 0. There is nothing in 'make buildworld' or 'installworld' that would change it. Of course, if you do not rebuild your kernel, it will not change either:-) Try it now: Do not edit the config file and simply rebuild the kernel. When you reboot, the number should be at 1. Hope this helps.... -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
