We patch the source and rebuild the bare minimum of software. Rebuilding world (ie: everything) is an extreme step which, logically, should only be taken as a last resort. At least, in a production environment. If this is just a toy computer, or a desktop, rebuilding world is probably not so bad. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
