In section 9.3 of the handbook just before the two procedures it lists "If you are building a new kernel without updating the source code (perhaps just to add a new option, such as IPFIREWALL) you can use either procedure." However, after the two procedures it says "If you have not upgraded your source tree in any way (you have not run CVsup, CTM, or used anoncvs), then you should use the config, make depend, make, make install sequence." which is procedure 1. This seems contradictory to me. Also, I have not upgraded anything on this particular box, used procedure 2 and all seems well. Have I missed something here? Are the words update and upgrade the same thing here or are they different?
