I have a couple of questions about -current. Since it takes me about 15 hours to do a checkout, make world, make install, reboot with the new kernel, etc, etc. I was wondering if I could get my feet wet a little more slowly. I want to build a -current kernel on a -stable system. Is that a reasonable thing to do? Will the resulting kernel work with -stable binaries? Will I need to build the config out of -current in order to configure the kernel, or will the one in -stable be good enough? Also, if I upgrade to -current, would it be good enought to grab jordan's next snapshot and just extract all the binaries from it onto my system and reboot with a -current kernel? Or is there a painless upgrade option in the snapshot? Thank you for your reply... Warner
