Kernel Configuration Options
16 May 1999
|
| This section tells you where to find out about the various kernel configuration options. |
|
LINT
|
All of the kernel configuration options are documented in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT.
For example, if you open this file and search for ipfilter and you will
find: # IPFILTER enables Darren Reed's ipfilter package. # IPFILTER_LOG enables ipfilter's logging. and a little below that: options IPFILTER #kernel ipfilter support options IPFILTER_LOG #ipfilter logging For our example, if you need to add support for ipfilter, you would add the following line to your kernel configuration file: options IPFILTER #kernel ipfilter support To build your new kernel, you should follow the instructions for Building and Installing a Custom Kernel. |
