Hi jsha,

so what, freebsd from scratch is the only way to avoid this?


Where can I find information on 'freebsd from scratch'. Pointers would be appreciated.

TIA

and how come make/install world is made like that? shouldn't
the developers try to avoid this kind of thing?

thanks.

hello.

does make world leave obsolete files on your system
after install? without even the slightest effort to
remove them?

please say it isn't so. i like make world.



Worse, it is known to cause fatal situations where you have to use the fixit disk to recover your system or do a reinstall. If you upgrade a kernel that panics, you will be committed to using the bad build. The installworld being run after the installkernel and reboot to single user mode is for your protection.

FWIW, even installworld leaves obsolete files on your system at various times.
