Well, that's the documented options only. :) Something like the following script might get you all the options: find /usr/src -name '*.c' | grep -E '^#(ifdef|if[ ]+defined)' | sort -u Just kidding... Any of the unofficial options that is seen by config will be converted into a -D in the kernel's Makefile. FreeBSD 2.2 moved away from this paradigm for all the official options by moving them out into opt_foo.h files in the compile directory. This way, Makefile dependencies will work again. Hence there's almost no longer a need for config's (mis)feature to wipe the compile directory first, though a few suckers still remain (like the options for UFS and NFS). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
