Not quite (it may work, but I wouldn't do it this way). "make world" will include buildworld as well as installworld. So the later steps run with an old kernel and a new world. Minimize this window of inconsistency by rearrangement: update sources make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel make installworld mergemaster(!) BTW the list archive is full with these threads. Especially since the "HEADS UP!" for the binutils upgrade and the therefor suggested buildkernel procedure. You can find a whole lot of proven rulesets for updating there. virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
