10The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
11building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
12commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
13everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
14kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The
15``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
16the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
17the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
18standard build targets and compile-time flags.

20Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation

29sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
30file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
31kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
32devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient
33LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
34pure reference and documentation file.
