Jordan quoted a nice "So, you want to make world?" contribution from Joseph Stein. A couple of minor comments: 1. > > Please note, however, that when you execute 'make world', you are likely > > to find all manner of hardware problems (that will usually show up as > > signal 12), but, if it completes sucessfully, you will know that your > > hardware is really "up to snuff". Surely sig 11 is just as common as sig 12? 2. There's one issue with doing "make world" that this doesn't cover: it's possible (n'est-ce pas?) for it to wipe out non-standard bits of your configuration: notably it tries to rebuild sendmail even if /usr/sbin/sendmail is actually Exim or Smail or something. Or has this been changed? Modulo that, I like it. -- Gareth McCaughan Dept. of Pure Mathematics & Mathematical Statistics, gjm11@dpmms.cam.ac.uk Cambridge University, England.
