hello guys,

i have just installed freebsd 5.2 from a floppy boot disk. now i saw 
some security announcement on the
freebsd website and decided to rebuilt my kernel ( as was instructed on 
the updates ). anyway, does rebuilding the kernel captures all the 
necessary updates?

all i did was create a new kernel config file ( basically a copy of the 
GENERIC ). then execute...

#

# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
  

#

# make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL


is this enough ?

thanks

richard
