If I wanted to upgrade all my sources, could I do a "Make > World" without having to do a "Make Kernel" or are the two intertwined > where if I do the one I have to do the other? Just curious. Sources are updated using cvsup. make world builds the userland, i.e. all of the programs that are part of the OS but not in the kernel. make kernel builds the actual kernel. World and kernel should be in sync or you will have strange problems and some stuff won't work. Read about this in the handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
