    Because configuring kernel by editing config files is, IMHO, the fastest
    and most convenient method. New FreeBSD users should get used to it
    from the beginning - this will save their time in future. There's nothing
    hard in editing the files, especially after few kernels for different machines
    have been created (they can be used as templates).
