This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file | ||
was last revised on: $Id$ | ||

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this | ||
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some | ||
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for | ||
more information). | ||
|
||
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for | ||
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most | ||
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs | ||
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the | ||
kernel. Please see the top of the Makefile for more information on | ||
the standard build targets and compile-time flags. | ||
|
||
Building a kernel with config(1) is a somewhat more involved process, | ||
documentation for which can be found at: | ||
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html | ||
And in the config(1) man page. | ||
|
||
The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf | ||
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the | ||
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation | ||
kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not | ||
just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference | ||
than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it | ||
wouldn't even run). | ||
