I've been looking around through the lists and google, also my Complete FreeBSD book and am not finding some specific answers. For example Is the make buildworld process one that rebuilds all exiting programs on your machine? I understand it builds everything from source. Since I'm doing just that now after having updated with cvsup, I understand all I have to do is drop down into single user mode, run make installworld and presto, everything is new and working! :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
