Hi all,

Why does uname show this?.  This is from an ISO that was downloaded
and installed.  Generic kernel(adaptec.com).  Think this is from the
FBSD ftp server but don't recall for sure.

Cheers...btb

It's telling you who compiled the kernel, and where in the compile
tree it was located at the time.  When you compile your own kernel,

ending in whatever you named your kernel config file.

*Why* does it show it?  I suppose because it wants to.

I know that.

My question was more along the lines of why would the ISO image

What does adaptec.com have to do with FBSD?.

At least 3 committers are Adaptec employees.
One of those 3 is a member of the FreeBSD
release engineering team.

Since the GENERIC kernel in your version was compiled there, I assume
someone there is involved in creating the distribution.  You could
always write to that email address and ask.
