5. Customization 1 : Optimizing your Kernel

Get the source, either using CVS ( cf 6 ) or using the tgz package...

Go on now ! Let's customize the kernel.

The most simple if to download and to install the adjustkernel package and dependances from source:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/adjustkernel && more DESCR

make && make install

Or, from the binary one :

_________________TODO_______________

Change to the directory containing kernel configuration files and adjust the kernel you are currently using. For me it's GENERIC_LAPTOP :

cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf

Now we can supprim configurations lines uneeded for your machine. Just type :

adjustkernel -f GENERIC_LAPTOP -r -o MYKERNEL

./sysupdate kernel

This will build the tool chain and your custumized kernel : MYKERNEL.
