To each his own of course, but I myself will always stick to vi'ing my kernel's config. It's the fastest, most efficient way IMHO. (Not to say, that's better, since lots of people prefer what I'd call, a more lazy method) I never liked the Linux kernel "way", but that's just me. Good on you for trying to give something back to the fbsd community though - not trying to bring it down, just shedding light on my personal convictions when it comes to configuring a kernel. -mpf David H.
