Does it matter which is done first, the make (install) world or the building and installing of the new kernel? Following the hints/guidance on pages 286-289 of The Complete FreeBSD (2nd Ed.)

Any problems I ever had were not related to this fact (read: bad SIMMS, etc). drc -- Dave Cantrell | Contrary to popular belief, UNIX is User Friendly. phaedrus@alltel.net | It's just choosy with whom it makes friends.
