Hi,

   I've installed the src01 package recently, and want to upgrade the
kernel, using the patchkit, so I may keep current.  The problem is that
I haven't found out how to do this yet... :-(  I've read the man page for
config(8), but didn't get any specifics from it (ie. how do you create a
file that config will process?).  Could someone please point me in the right
direction?  I've only been working with BSD for a week or two, and would
very much like to get kernel experience (previous systems were commercial,
and Linux was easier to grasp since it is smaller).  Any/all suggestions
very much appreciated!

-Rich
