Before I have just been using my old ones and adding lines that i find useful later, but I think It would be useful to get a new LINT file once in a while to keep up. Does it cause any problems if I let the kernel get out of date and keep upgrading the system binaries with "make world" ? For example I have my kernel at 2.1.5-RELEASE and I sup the -current or -stable tree and make world. Am I forced to rebuild the kernel becuase the binaries have changed? Sorry to be so picky, but It makes a difference when trying to upgrade properly. thanks so much. |Chris > -- > cheers, J"org > > joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE > Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) > Christopher J.
