Fournier" To: hackers@freebsd.org Subject: Quick question about 'make world' in /usr/src Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I've taken a look at the Makefile in /usr/src, and am slightly nervous of doing a 'make world'... ...what exactly does make world do? will it overwrite or change anything on the live system, or *only* compile everything under /usr/src? And, as far as that is concerned, if I want to install it all, just 'make installmost'? Mainly, I don't relish the thought of destroying my system, and there doesnt' seem to be much more docs on it then lookign at the Makefile...and I dont' want to trust that I'm reading it right :( thanks...
