Oh now that's a really helpful response. :( Anyway, my 4.9 LINT has comments. I certainly hope to see them when I get to 5.xxx. You will see them, as Kris noted already, in NOTES. If you want to see them in LINT, do something like $ cd /usr/src/sys cat conf/NOTES i386/conf/NOTES i386/conf/LINT :) Without the comments LINT is essentially useless. I guess it serves a specific purpose for development: if you try to compile a kernel with it as the config file, the compiler will attempt to process most of the OS code. Just long lists of cryptic character strings are not very helpful, even if there is a man page on every one. I feel like that this separation of a file needed for developers (LINT) and file readable by others (NOTES) nevertheless has some sense. For example, one doesn't have to make sure that NOTES is in any way compilable, it's `lines that can be cut/pasted into kernel' config file. That way, one may be able to enumerate more options, even they are mutually exclsive. That's just one reason that came to my mind. The reason for splitting notes into conf/NOTES and arch/conf/NOTES seems more obvious: common devices go into the former, specific - into the latter.

Well if they are all there and well kept up, it could be OK. I hope near the top of the LINT file there will be a comment referring us to that NOTES file then.

Re: LINT file?
If I understand correctly, in previous releases there used to be a file /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT, that listed all the things one could put in their kernel conf file. I can't find any such file on 5.2.1-RELEASE. Can someone please tell me where I can find it or it's replacement please? TIA cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf make LINT Note that the LINT kernel is _strictly_ a list of all the possible things to put in your kernel config -- there are no explanatory comments anymore. -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I should have known to simply look for it under another name, instead of just giving up early when the ls for LINT turned up nothing. Mea culpa. -ste P.S.: Looking at it, I discovered that there is a ste device driver and man page, lol. When I pointed it out to my roommate, he said he wants to get in touch with the author. He says there's a few feature enhancements he'd like, and several nasty bugs he'd like worked out. :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
