I could still do a "full" buildworld when necessary. = =20 >=20 > Any suggestions? =20 The only safe way to rebuild is with the full documented cycle that includes a buildworld. "Unsafe" means "may leave you with an unusable system". If you want to play around with other make targets you can indeed short-cut the build process a lot of the time, but you're expected to be advanced enough to recover your system on your own when you damage something, and that pretty much means being able to figure out how to use the make shortcuts on your own :-) Kris --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA5eusWry0BWjoQKURAk0jAJ9hh/gJaw+Bb7pj12EYVEha00m1eACg0c6I BkLU9zql+9neZTSiQIFGp+U= =ztMN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp--
