More accurately, you only use the "config ... make depend" method when the running system and kernel match the sources you are trying to build. After changing the config file, for instance. If you only build the kernel when you're updating the system, you should never use the "config ... make depend" method. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
