I can cope better with "build world, build kernel, install kernel, install world" than with "build world, fumble kernel, install world" (three different! things to keep in mind). Don't know if others have a similar experience. On the other hand when scripting this sequence or strictly following the doc (by means of a clipboard? :) it doesn't really matter -- since one doesn't have to type it. Oh, there might be one reason: Those admins with higher secure levels than -1 might wish for a separate target in an isolated time frame with writable kernel and module files. > reboot (-s) > make installworld > mergemaster virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
