If you read /usr/src/Makefile, you will find the following # The user-driven targets are: # # buildworld - Rebuild *everything*, including glue to help do # upgrades. # installworld - Install everything built by "buildworld". # world - buildworld + installworld. # buildkernel - Rebuild the kernel and the kernel-modules. # installkernel - Install the kernel and the kernel-modules. # reinstallkernel - Reinstall the kernel and the kernel-modules. # kernel - buildkernel + installkernel. I don't see an installkernel as an option for world. Kent > > You should probably read the instrucctions in src/UPDATING after > running CVSup.
