Ha-ha... Ah those were the days..., but does anyone remember the "old" way of building the kernel in the 2.2.8 days? I was just getting started doing the basic system setup/admin things in those days. Back then (1998 or so) I did not have access to broadband, so I did not even update the sources back then, but I knew that it was a good idea to remove devices from the GENERIC kernel that I did not have--thanks to the book by Greg Lehey. (Even though the version of "The Complete FreeBSD" I bought is so out of date I cannot bring myself to throw it away--it was my guide back in those days.) Does anyone else remember "The Complete FreeBSD"? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
