X-Sender-Ip: 216.88.75.130 Organization: HotBot Mail (http://mail.hotbot.com:80) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Language: en Content-Length: 893 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Sorry for the ignorance. I am a FreeBSD convert from Linux. I am accustomed to unpacking and building new packages on Linux in the /usr/local/src directory. Where is the equivalent directory in FreeBSD? On another note, after building a new kernel for FreeBSD (which by the way is much easier to do in FreeBSD than Linux), I noticed it was trying to load /boot/kernel.conf which I'm guessing is created by default and loaded by /boot/loader.conf. I could not find in info from the Complete FreeBSD book or man pages on the values that can be created in /boot/kernel.conf. Would someone point me in the right direction as to where I can find some info about this file? I do not subscribe to the questions mailing list, so please respond back to be personally.
