I would not have thought so..but ?
Buildworld, no. Buildkernel, yes. Remember, the correct dance for an upgrade these days includes the following: make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel <reboot, single-user> make installworld mergemaster <reboot> If you have a custom kernel configuration, you can use it automatically at stage 2 & 3 by including KERNCONF in /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, you must include it on the command line. On a three-way-boot laptop, remembering which config you have at the moment is a pain. :-) -- Michael Lucas [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] my FreeBSD column: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
