"make buildkernel" -- builds only the kernel You can build kernels with different configuration files using "make buildkernel KERNCONF=<kernel2>". Once you do the 'build', the kernel image is stored as /kernel More information in the FreeBSD Handbook. http://www.freebsd.org Pavan Balaji, Intel Corporation "Only the Paranoid Survive" -- Andy Grove > -----Original Message----- > From: John Mills [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 10:04 PM > To: FreeBSD-questions > Subject: Question on order and targets of kernel and world builds > > > Hello - > > I would appreciate a bit more information on the 'world' and 'kernel' > building process.
