I am going to attempt the above in order as stated. I have read UPDATING,
have the handbook open. One thing I am confused about: The next line after
my new text states that this should give me a new config. My understanding
is that buildworld will build the system, but not install it. Am I correct
in saying that if the world is not installed, then the new config will not
be installed either?
