Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hello, I wonder why we need to grab the sources and compile when we need to upgrade to a never version (with make world) why can't we get binaries and then just install with make installworld ? then just 1 person would compile then and it would save a lot time thanks +-------------------------------------------------+ | Name : Evren Yurtesen - yurtesen@ispro.net.tr | | S-mail: Talikkokatu 6B 26, 20540 Turku/FINLAND | | Home:+358-2-2379095 Work:+358-40-5185215 | +-------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
