WL> No. You misunderstand. The buildkernel is only needed when you are I don't think I misunderstood what was said. What was said was that the only supported way of building a kernel was "make buildkernel" and I was pointing out why that could be an issue. WL> updating your kernel. If you do not update the sources via cvs, cvsup WL> or other means, then you can just cd to the src/compile/FOO directory So the final result of the discussion seems to be: 1) after upgrading sources (ie, make buildworld of any sort) use "make buildkernel" to build your kernel 2) any other times, you can use the traditional build process Correct?
