Not reliably. That's why the documented method is to do the whole thing all over again. However, you can build and install the current set of tools with "make install". That will only rebuild and reinstall things that have changed - assuming the dependencies are right. I'm not sure whether that target updates the same set of objects as the "world" targets, so you may need to "make install" after you've done an "installworld" to set things up properly. Be warned: this builds things with the currently installed tools instead of the toolset in the source tree. That can cause things to fail to build, or to fail in unexpected ways after they are installed. If you have any problems *at all* after updating via "make install", do a "make world" to build the system with the proper toolset before bothering to report it. None of this touches on updating the kernel, but the same kind of methods - with the same kind of potential problems and warnings - can be used for it. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
