From f394d124f40e85ccd60cd39dcc159664c31e6b26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Crilly Date: Thu, 11 May 2023 20:44:15 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] A small note about rc.conf and kld_list I believe this small note could be beneficial. It introduces the reader to the potentially new idea of man pages, and it helps them appreciate that kld_list has a particular format and can actually be used to load multiple kernel modules. See the #community channel on Discord @ 2030 AEST for an example of a potential failure on our part to explain this correctly (at a time when it could be important.) --- documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc b/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc index 758b8090e182..48db7b0efa81 100644 --- a/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc +++ b/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/x11/_index.adoc @@ -218,6 +218,11 @@ To install the package execute the following command: .... ==== +[TIP] +==== +If you're unfamiliar with the `/etc/rc.conf` file and the `kld_list` option, then checkout the link:https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?rc.conf[`rc.conf`] manpage and search for `kld_list`.
