2 # MINIMAL -- Mostly Minimal kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/amd64
4 # Many definitions of minimal are possible. The one this file follows is
5 # GENERIC, minus all functionality that can be replaced by loading kernel
9 # o While UFS is buildable as a module, the current module lacks
10 # some features (ACL, GJOURNAL) that GENERIC includes.
11 # o acpi as a module has been reported flakey and not well tested, so
12 # is included in the kernel.
13 # o random is included due to uncertaty...
14 # o Many networking things are included
16 # For now, please run changes to these list past imp@freebsd.org
