Hello - I would appreciate a bit more information on the 'world' and 'kernel' building process. Please point me at the right section of the Handbook or Greg's book if there is a succinct description. I have been doing 'CVSUP' followed by: # make buildworld # make installworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel without really knowing if this was a useful order or exactly what I was accomplishing with each target. My question is: 1) Can I 'make buildworld' to create my tools and supporting files, then 2) Use the newly made "world" to 'make buildkernel', and then 3) 'make installworld; make installkernel' to install these new filesets for general use? I would like to know if this is an acceptable and conservative way to do a rebuild, and to better understand what I get at each step. TIA for any guidance. - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
