| Hi,
| i'm installing FreeBSD in order to change my NT5.1
| with Apache & ftp server.
| I'm comming from IBM OS/390 mainframe and don't know
| anything on Unix like systems. I'm a C/C++ developper too.
|
| My question beeing very simple, i think you don't need
| technical information, but see on * lines below.
|
| Q : how to launch the "Kernel Configuration Menu" script
|     as described on Ch 2.3.2 (fig. 2.1) ?
|
| i don't have any option to do that on the Loader Menu (i tried all)
| i tried to "grep-find" the script (or command) but fails.
|
| * i'm using/booting from FreeBSD 5.2.1, disc-1
| * boot0 & boot1 are Ok
| * Loader Ok
| * Sysinstall running Ok
| Note : a mini-install of 5.2.1 is currently installed on my HDD
| and seem to work properly. I would like to configure more
| accurately my Kernel now.
|
| Great thanks, FreeBSD is exactly what i want,
|

First you might want to move away from 5.2.1 to 4.10 because 5.2.1 isn't
stable release. 4.10 is the stable release or wait till 5.3 gets released.
