I've thought about something like this. I'm sure some of us use our own "semi-automated" generation method of just doing something like dmesg | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/:.*$//' | sort -u. I generally do something like this anytime I'm given a box and told to assimilate it to FreeBSD. I just take the output of this and use it as a base for what modifications I have to do to GENERIC. I'm sure someone could whip up a sed/awk script to do something like this pretty easily. A more complicated approach would involve actual hardware probing, generating dependency trees, compile time optimizations, etc. -- Ryan Sommers ryans_at_gamersimpact.comReceived on Mon Oct 25 2004 - 16:46:18 UTC
