If i can configure the kernel how do i do it? To add to Quinn's reply, the Darwin kernel is pretty much complete as it comes from the factory. There are no source-level modules that you can enable/disable during the kernel config/build cycle. The only reason to build your own is to fix a bug or make a change for your own purposes. Note that there may be #defines in the source to enable or disable some piece of code, but those situations are completely untested, and may not even build; if they do build, they may not run; and if they run, they may chew up your disk and spit the remains out in your lap. :-}.
