If you knew that that is what Mr. Schweers called his kernel config file and
had nothing to do with the coding of the FreeBSD developers would you
apologise to them ? If so you should start now.
Mr. Schweers had the decency to censor his kernel name out for the mailing
list which was the right thing to do as far as I am concerned. He may also
call his kernel config file whatever he likes. Reminds me of the old one...
What's red and hangs in a tree ? My stove. Why ? Because it's MY stove and I
can do what I like with it !!
Maybe you should check your facts before you open your mouth and embarass
yourself.
