I happen to be one of the people that got bit doing it that way on 4.0 and I haven't used that scheme since. In my world, the installworld is the very last thing you should do. The reason is that you can recover from a bad kernel but you can't recover after you have installed a world that is bad. The Handbook on the CD's doesn't have it quite this way but the new one on www.freesbd.org does. The sections of 19.4.6.2-10 cover how I build my world and kernel. There is a lot of extraneous discussion on options that you can use. I first encountered mergemaster on 3.2. They were making fixes faster than I could update /etc. Then, I found that I could take care of that in minutes by using mergemaster.

I don't use cvs. I ran a program called cvsup and it updates my sources. Installing it as a package is the easiest. There is some Modula support you have to have installed if you build the port. The sample supfiles are in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/. For FreeBSD 4.3-stable, you set the tag=RELENG_4. Since some of your source isn't installing, I'm not sure where to go. The first rule is to re-cvsup but that usually assumes that a build died and not the install. Pod2man wasn't built and I'm assuming you didn't have the full source. I think I would try cvsup'ing RELENG_4 and see if the problem goes away. BTW, I always cvsup before I do my buildworld. I kind of use a buildworld as a benchmark of my system and I have a script called mkworld to do that. It cd's to the proper directory and uses my typical set of options. I don't have to type the long string in this way. I run it using "time mkworld" and then record the line from time. >From the listing of the mirrors on freebsd.org, find the closest one to you. I use cvsup8, which is in Washington state and about 200 miles from where I live. It is not my fastest mirror. That is frequently across the USA on the east coast. It all depends on activity.
