Hello -
I would appreciate a bit more information on the 'world' and 'kernel'
building process. Please point me at the right section of the Handbook or
Greg's book if there is a succinct description.
I have been doing 'CVSUP' followed by:
# make buildworld
# make installworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
without really knowing if this was a useful order or exactly what I was
accomplishing with each target. My question is:
1) Can I 'make buildworld' to create my tools and supporting files, then
2) Use the newly made "world" to 'make buildkernel', and then
3) 'make installworld; make installkernel' to install these new filesets
for general use?
I would like to know if this is an acceptable and conservative way to do a
rebuild, and to better understand what I get at each step.
TIA for any guidance.
