Is it generally safe to just rebuild the kernel, and not make

setting cvsup to track RELENG_5_3?

But why would you update your sources if you are not going to 
compile and install them?

Umm, umm, lol, yes I thought of this after I sent it, most of the 
updates are for userland and system tools, not the kernel, duh, sorry.


I know everyone always says "read the handbook" but in this case it is 
very useful. Read the chapters on the FreeBSD kernel and also the 
chapter aptly named "The Cutting Edge"

Been there done that and I did it long time ago, this was just a moment 
of stupidity and not thinking before posting. I was in the middle of 
updating my sources when I had to make some changes to the kernel and 
rebuild it and I didn't have time or the desire rebuild world.
