I am junior with FreeBSD (< 8 months)...and I am getting confused with Gentoo's definition of build world, and FreeBSD's. Under Gentoo, when you rebuilt your world, everything got rebuilt. Every package that you had installed in your system including the base. Am I understanding that in FreeBSD this is a two step process. "make buildworld" simply rebuilds the base system from source. Then to rebuild your ports....I understand that I need to call "portmaster -af"...Am I correct, or is their a different set of switches I need to pass to portmaster to tell it to rebuild every installed port? Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely and respectfully, Dave
