Ahh I see. Hmm, that could work but I think it fits in better with the kern= el=20 build if you can treat port installed modules just like their base=20 counterparts. > : If you already have the port installed it will barf unless you set > : FORCE_PKG_REGISTER. > > That's just a minor bug I've not yet fixed. minor? :) > : Also, it would force an upgrade of the port which isn't necessarily > : a good thing (eg I can't use the latest nvidia port because the 6113 > : driver blows up on my laptop). > > That's up to the user to manage :-( How though? I think it makes much more sense to install the source code you= =20 know works so rebuilding your kernel doesn't need distfiles (which might=20 require net access) or potentially forcing a port to be upgraded from=20 something you know works. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart2545576.J7RZdrtjvK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBrApj5ZPcIHs/zowRAnhFAJ9tY13ZlC0UokB3cKTR9BIVqYk/GACfVfBN i84NgnQnJklpTklnBJFWZwY= =LRqm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2545576.J7RZdrtjvK--
