I'm not sure what DP1 is, but you always need your source & kernel matched--so yes, build world, then buildkernel so that your new world is use. Rather than blowingit wayay, I'd make clean and then mv /usr/src /usr/old.src so that it's still there if you need it. ALso, do you *need* current? The good stuff is moved into stable as soon as it's reliable; you're not stuck with the linuxy choice of ot of date or missing features. Otoh, if you need stuff from current, you're stuck with a certain amount of instability. hawk -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
