That depends where it fails. make world does basically 4 things: - it removes all your old objects - it builds new directories where necessary - it makes all the new software - it installs it. Clearly if it gets to the point where it's making the software, you don't want to repeat the whole thing. But 'make install' doesn't check whether the software has been made, so unless you get to the install stage, you won't get everything installed. I always perform a 'make -k world' so that a problem making, say, games/fish won't cause the whole thing to fail. Of course, this means that I have to carefully check the make log file after the make. Greg
