The new way is preferred. If you use the old way, chances are, it will work fine (it has here), but there are no promises. YMMV. If you cvsup the source, you should get the changes added to the tree tonight that install the kernel as /kernel instead of /MYKERNEL (see /usr/src/UPDATING for more info on the procedure if you don't get the latest changes). Otherwise, you can add the following line to your kernel config file to get it to install as /kernel: makeoptions KERNEL=kernel > P.S. someone told me that cvs-crypto is a part of src-all now, is > that true?
