Correct. As long as world and kernel are in sync, you can build and install as many kernels as you like. This is also reflected in the "uname -v" output, for example "FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #1" indicates that this is the 2nd kernel built for that particular version (#0 would have been the first). It's possible to just re-do "make kernel KERNCONF=FOO" several times after changing something in the kernel configuration. No need for buildworld here. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
