It's been about 5mos. since I've built World/kernel. But since then have synced up my source and ports as there have been some security issues since then. My question(s) is/ are: Since the kernel I built for this box was built so long ago, I want to re-build it and rebuild all my currently built ports in an effort to overcome the security issues that have developed. What I cannot recall is wheather I do a BuildWorld, *then* build the kernel. Or whether I build and install the kernel first. Also, as it has now been so long. Would it be best to re-build my obj tree by way of diong a config>make>make install? Thank you for all your time and consideration in this matter. --Chris ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was brought to you by the H.R.
