In addition to the reference already given, there is a concise description under "COMMON ITEMS" near the end of src/UPDATING, with header "To rebuild everything and install it on the current system". I note what might be a missed correction where it says "make kernel" as opposed to "make buildkernel". I do it the wrong way, which has always worked perfectly for me for many years using http://halplant.com:2001/software/FreeBSD/scripts/update_fbsd to fetch sources, build world and kernel while in multi-user, run from cron. When I'm ready to install, I shutdown and run http://halplant.com:2001/software/FreeBSD/scripts/install_fbsd This is wrong because I don't boot the new kernel before installing the new world. -- -Andrew J.
