Well, you had to do a bit more than this do to the lack of an install-tools target during the world process. Once the install-tools portion is finished, then, yes, this will always work, and it will work if you are already running 4.0 to get around this recent binutils change. > Otherwise, (as per the handbook) the order is: > > make buildworld > make installworld > update /etc and /dev (and optionally /stand) > make and install new kernel This is fine as well. > Also: FYI, www.freebsddiary.com shows an ordering that puts the /etc and > /dev updates (via mergemaster) *AFTER* making and installing the kernel. > (I'm not sure if that is correct procedure, or if it matters, but it differs > from the handbook) I don't think it matters, since until you reboot, you are still running the old kernel, and you won't run the rc scripts until you reboot, for example. > John -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
