How often would you > recommend doing the make installworld? Doing make buildworld without a make installworld is only useful for exercising your disks. The buildworld leaves the newly built system in /usr/obj where nothing will look at it. The next buildworld wipes out /usr/obj and starts over. It's the make installworld that actually moves all the pieces somewhere useful. -- Kevin Street street@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
