Hi, my query is about http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html#AEN28190 Part 19.4.8 : Compile and Install a New Kernel I was just wondering if there was a good reason for there not being a reference to Ch. 8. The last intruction in this section is: "...However, it is recommended that you use the new version of config(8), using a command line like this. # /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/config/config KERNELNAME " Now I know the hyperlinked config(8) should at least get your notice, but if the paragraph also included, " config needs to be run from the conf subdirectory of the system source. Refer to config(8) for more information." then Ch 19.4.8 would make a lot more sense, because if you're still in /usr/src the above command returns a rather unhelpful error message. I know there's a risk involved if users are spoonfed. I am more concerned with the Handbook's correctness. What do you think? -- Aluminium Oxide orac000@internet-mail.org
