My question is now this: I've never CVSup'ed before. Never had a need to. I've read the handbook regarding the procedure, and as a matter of fact cvsup is running sucking down all the sources. Make world generally scares the crap outta me. ;-) Do I really need to grab down *all* the source for everything? Mind you, I'm running 2.2.7-RELEASE now, as it is. I'm waiting until 3.0 becomes more stable to upgrade to that release (thanks guys for pulling a "Microsoft" or "Linux" with the 3.0 release! ) Would simply CVSup'ing the kernel sources take care of my needs? Would I then still have to do a make-world if all I grabbed were the kernel sources? TIA!
