| Hmmm where do I do" make world" from here?
| I try make world but it complain as below.
| make: don't know how to make world. Stop
|
| If I try to rename one of the Makefile,* above it won't work either.
|
| Please advise.
|
| By the way I am using FreeBSD4.4Release.

You want to cd to /usr/src in order to make world.  Actually, the directions 
(in short) are:
1) su 
2) cd /usr/src
3) make buildworld
4) make buildkernel
5) make installkernel
6) make installworld
7) mergemaster

You may want to re-read the Handbook page on this: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

Good luck
Marci
