Ok, and understanding question: with your current snapshot cd am I able to do a buildworld/buildkernel without updating the source? I mean, I installed the source from the cd. Now I wonder if I have to sync something or if it should be possible to build out of the box w/o any errors (beside my oddities). Can you do a buildworld/buildkernel with the bare cd installation ? Thanks, Andreas
