I've been using the above for months in -stable, as well as the native -current functionality, to build kernels with read-only /usr/src and no config file within (instead off in /usr/local somewhere), and it's worked great. I've had to reapply the above patch anytime the -stable Makefile.inc1 changes, so I second the request that 4.x get the above patch MFC applied to bring its ability to that of -current for alternative kernel config file locations, and I can't see that it would cause any problems (I've never experienced any) barry bouwsma To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
