Having installed FreeBSD 2.2.2 from the WC CDs I'd now like to start tracking the stable 2.2 source. I've read handbook and FAQ but I'm still a little unsure where to start. Is it just a case of getting the latest 30+ MB source distribution then keeping up to date with the patches? I did a "make world" on my 2.2.2 system just to make sure that there were no nasty surprises. Everything worked fine except that I noticed that it didn't build a kernel. This made me wonder, then, if I download the latest stable 2.2 code which do I build and install first, the kernel or the binaries? I'd be grateful for any comments/advice.
