You stated "Now I downloaded FreeBSD 4.6" You are not clear about what you mean by this statement. If you mean you cvsup'ed 4.6 and followed the instructions you should have already recompiled your kernel source. If you mean you FTPed the 4.5 min.iso and burned a cdrom from which you installed a new clean virgin FBSD system, then yes you have to compile your saved old kernel source to create an kernel binary to run from. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mindaugas Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 3:19 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: about kernel and /boot/defaults/loader.conf Hello, I have a quistion.. Scenario: I have FreeBSD box 4.5 and it act as gateway (my network goes to internet thruoght the BSD box and aDSL modem) using NATD. For aDSL modem I using in kernel: options NETGRAPH options NETGRAPH_PPP options NETGRAPH_PPPoE For firewall: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 options IPDIVERT Now I downloaded FreeBSD 4.6 and I saw in /boot/defaults/loader.conf options such as: if_tun_load="NO" # Tunnel driver (user process ppp) ipfw_load="NO" # Firewall ng_ppp_load="NO" # PPP protocol netgraph node type ng_pppoe_load="NO" # RFC 2516 PPPOE protocol netgraph node type Question: Shud I recompile kernel (in FreeBSD 4.6) with these options like in bsd 4.5 or it is enougnt to make "YES" to all them in /boot/defaults/loader.conf What is the diference? (kernel or /boot/defaults/loader.conf) What is better? (recompile kernel or make "YES" in /boot/defaults/loader.conf") Sorry for my English... -- Mindaugas mindaugas77@delfi.lt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
