I was wondering if anyone could provide me an answer to the following
questions. Please keep in mind that by default I learned Unix on a Linux
system, so... please no flames :(.
1) Is there any sort of configuration interface (ncurses, X, etc), or am I
'stuck' with 'manually configuring' a textfile?
yes you are - you will end more thinking less clicking.
this system is actually MUCH easier than ncurses/X/whateven because you
use any text editor.
read file "NOTES" and "GENERIC" to make task easier.
it is very good when you configure kernel not the first time, because you
use your favourite config file as a base for new config, just changing few
drivers and options etc.
of course - feel free to write curses kernel configurator :))
2) Is there a complete list of features which can be enabled for the
kernel, other what was in the GENERIC configuration file?
3) What is needed for the FreeBSD kernel and what modules need to be
compiled in order to use IDE CD-burning. In linux previous to kernel version
burncd works as is.
for cdrecord etc.. you need "cam" support - something like linux "SCSI
emulation". but system's burncd works as is. unfortunately not for DVD
writers yet.
2.6.8 I know that SCSI was required, but now they are doing proper IDE
emulation.
Thanks, I'll most likely have more questions later.
