I want to upgrade to FreeBSD-2.1.5-stable.  A few questions:

1) At a minimum - I just download /usr/src/sys/ and compile a new 2.1.5
kernel and I will be able to run that with the current filesystem?  I need
a 2.1.5 kernel feature to run the Excite Search Engine (and a few other
things)...  of course I would keep a copy of the old kernel and source!

2) I don't want to download the entire /usr/src/ directory as I have
modified the source of MANY of the system utilities for security reasons. 

3) What else beside the kernel source do I need to download to update to
FreeBSD2.1.5-stable?

Thanks again for all your help, guys!

Andy
