Hi all

I was reading about building kernels and found that there are two ways (m=
aybe
more?):
1. The old way!?! where you
        cd /sys/i386/conf
        config KERNEL
        cd ../../compile/KERNEL
        make depend
        make
Now the kernel is in that dir.

2. The new way!?!
        cd /usr/src
        make buildkernel KERNCONF=3DKERNEL
Now the kernel is in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL

Why is the kernel being build in different places?
Which way will be the way "of the future"?
Why the difference? do you have the same options no matter which one you
use?
