These instructions are bogus. `make depend all' does nothing, because targets are up-to date: Script started on Thu Mar 16 22:09:05 2000 $ uname -r 3.3-STABLE $ pwd /home/ru/FreeBSD-current/usr.sbin/config $ ldd /usr/obj/`pwd`/config /usr/obj//home/ru/FreeBSD-current/usr.sbin/config/config: libc.so.4 => not found (0x0) $ make depend all $ exit Script done on Thu Mar 16 22:09:56 2000 Inserting `clean' before `depend' would be wrong, since it would clobber an existing (4.0) config. The correct instructions are: cd /usr/src; make buildkernel installkernel KERNEL=FOO Note, that kernel will be installed as /FOO, not /kernel. I hope Warner will update the instructions ASAP.
