And as I make that?
yes. take a look at release(8) man page. it outlines how you can get the source (which you may already have) and run config(8) and build a kernel, which you can then install and reboot and run it. Make note of the "Build and install a new kernel" section specifically editing o the configuration file. Depending on what branch of the code you are running you may or may not have to build your userland at that point. --patrick p.s., Hopefully I'm not giving you useless info as before. I made a bad assumption before.
