Handbook sec. 9.3) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG There are two sets of commands you can use to build a kernel in FreeBSD: "Procedure 1" is the old way: config, make depend, make, make install. "Procedure 2" is the make kernel sequence from makeworld. Section 9.3 of the Handbook says I should use procedure 1 if I haven't updated my source tree. I can understand then need to use procedure 2 if I've updated my source tree, but why shouldn't I use it with an unmodified tree?
