So it should be "since your last world build" (ie, if your sources are newer than your world, you should use this method, which uses the new binaries in /usr/obj). The last kernel build has nothing to do with it except for the fact that you're supposed to build the kernel and the world from the same source tree. > It is unsafe to build a kernel before you build a world in your object > directory (usually /usr/obj). ie, "make buildworld". So "make buildkernel" should come after "make buildworld", but not necessarily after "make installworld"?
