Now I'm curious. I never looked at the make world process, being new
to freeBSD (but not new to unix) I never knew I needed to do it.
I simply installed 2.15, re-comp'd the kernel to my liking (got it
down to under ~750k, I presume thats pretty good), set up an Xserver,
edited my .cshrc, and never looked back. But now I'm on the list and
see references to it all the time. What exactly does it do, and under
what circumstances would I need to do it?
