I'm curious too. I hope someone else might comment on the possible benefits of making a new kernel first ! I think I read somewhere once that occasionally a make world may require this... i.e. the new code uses new features in the kernel during compilation or something like that. Is this real anyone ? Or am I just wasting 8 minutes or so doing this. Studded wrote: > > Matthew Thyer wrote: > > > I always make a new kernel, boot on it and then make world. > > I'm curious about this.
