If programs or other components of the world do have to be in sync with kernel or system files (sys/*.h), then I conclude that world also has to be compiled. In this regards, it means a change of the kernel, and if the kernel did change, kernel and world are out of sync, which implies that both have to be compiled. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
