Hi, my query is about
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html#AEN28190
Part 19.4.8 : Compile and Install a New Kernel
I was just wondering if there was a good reason for there not being a
reference to Ch. 8.
The last intruction in this section is:
"...However, it is recommended that you use the new version of
config(8), using a command line like this.
# /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/config/config KERNELNAME "
Now I know the hyperlinked config(8) should at least get your notice,
but if the paragraph also included,
" config needs to be run from the conf subdirectory of the system
source. Refer to config(8) for more information."
then Ch 19.4.8 would make a lot more sense, because if you're still in
/usr/src the above command returns a rather unhelpful error message.
I know there's a risk involved if users are spoonfed. I am more
concerned with the Handbook's correctness. What do you think?
