No. It means that this is the fourth time that you've recompiled the kernel (IIRC). You will see #5 if you do another recompile.

Steve Actually this is the 5th time --- computers start counting at zero. #0 first time #1 second time #2 third time #3 fourth time #4 fifth time and on... To reset this, you have to remove the build directory for the kernel and re-config, recompile. This number has NOTHING to do with the state of the sources, it just keeps track of how many times the kernel has been built from the same build directory. ___ 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
