No, it's not strictly necessary, though you absolutely should rebuild anything that installs a KLD. Compiler improvements usually happen in minor releases, so you certainly won't get that benefit until you rebuild them all. For majors, you absolutely must rebuild everything. > > Also, is there a way to use freebsd-update to see what the current patch level is of a release? > > freebsd-version > > # Adam > > > -- > Adam Weinberger > adamw@adamw.org > https://www.adamw.org -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org https://www.adamw.org
