I'm finding the kernel configuration chapter of the FreeBSD handbook quite helpful, but not comprehensive (whereas the NetBSD options(4) man page is comprehensive but not helpful). For instance, it is not at all clear to me what options "CD9660_ROOT" #CD-ROM usable as root. "CD9660" req'ed means. I have some guesses, one of which is probably right, but.... And zgrepping through /usr/share/man/cat* for that string garners no hits at all.... Is there some other place I should be looking for documentation on this sort of thing, or is it time to read the source? ---Alex Carl Alexander ------------- MIT (where Alex hangs out): xela@mit.edu Course VI (sometime special student) SIPB (prospective) Mitgaard ("honorary mold") MITSFS LSC (night worker) http://www.mit.edu/~xela ------------- Work (where they call me 'Carl'): carl@terc.edu System Administrator & User Services Manager, TERC http://www.terc.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
