Hi all
I was reading about building kernels and found that there are two ways (maybe
more?):
1. The old way!?! where you
cd /sys/i386/conf
config KERNEL
cd ../../compile/KERNEL
make depend
make
Now the kernel is in that dir.

2. The new way!?!
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=KERNEL
Now the kernel is in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERNEL
Why is the kernel being build in different places?
Because all compiled output is in /usr/obj then. You can protect /usr to
disallow any changes and mount (or use different flags) /usr/obj
seperately. This allows you to build in multiuser mode and only the
install must be done in single user mode.
Which way will be the way "of the future"?
The new way :-)
Why the difference?

The kernel configuration keeps the same. What other options do you mean?
Bye,
Jens
