1. You can use the old procedure still, but better 'make buildkernel'. 'make buildworld' does NOT rebuild the kernel, it does everything else. Look in the online version of the handbook, you probably have the old print edition? 2. To build your kernel, edit the conf file (take a copy of GENERIC or LINT and make your changes), save it in the same directory under SOME_NAME, and do make buildkernel KERNCOF=SOME_NAME make installkernel KERNCOF=SOME_NAME 'make kernel' to do 'make buildkernel && make installkernel' On Tue, 12 Mar 2002, Eivind Olsen wrote: > Hello. > > I have two questions regarding the building of custom kernels. > > 1) How do I do it?
