After my first full cvsup, I went to /usr/src and typed "make buildworld" followed by "make installworld", and things were (much to my amazement) worked. However, it is not obvious to me how to do another make after a cvsup which updates just a few files; a plain "make" does not appear to do the right thing (and indeed, when followed by "make install" trashed my machine the one time I tried it), and make buildworld erases everything and rebuilds it from scratch. Surely there must be a better way than leaving the thing to compile for a couple of hours! Any ideas? Thanks, /ji
