For most stuff, you can simply cd into /usr/src/usr.bin/programname, or /usr/src/lib/libname, and run make obj make depend make make install. If you rebuild a library, though, it's up to you to make sure that you also rebuild any statically-linked programs using that library. There may also be issues where buiding one program may require another program to be updated (the texinfo stuff, for example, or a new copy of sed or make). The reason there's a make world is to ensure that all these dependencies are taken care of. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There has usually been enough time between security notices that I normally rebuild everything. My systems mostly follow -stable and my world wouldn't apply to a release based system.
