Hi all,

Id like to know what is the proper procedure for rebuilding the FreeBSD
kernel manually, to force it to to recompile only the 
changed files and dependencies and then link the beast, and not a full
build with make buildkernel. Also, is there a place where
the system makefiles and the manual procedures for buidling the kernel,
crosscompile, etc are documented ?


With thanks, Dan
