Kernel
Brian Pontz
Just wondering if anyone knows what kernel option has to do with DNS. I'm
doing some experimenting, so I took out some kernel options in the GENERIC
kernel and compiled it and installed it. When I rebooted it came back up
ok but it cant get to anywhere on the web by hostname, just by IP. I took
the out drivers I didnt need pertaining to network cards, scsi cards,
sound stuff and the joystick driver. I'm remaking the GENERIC kernel now
but I was just wondering if anyone knew.
Thanks
Brian

a make build and installed a new GENERIC kernel. I just updated the
sources today and tried making the kernel smaller. I just put the one I
made 2 weeks ago back in /bsd and rebooted. Seems to work fine now.
Maybe I'll wait till I know more before messing with the kernel again
:-). This is kinda a stupid question but whats "userland"?
Thanks for the help.
