Yes, if the kernel sources and the world sources are in sync with each other, *and* with the binaries which are installed, you can rebuild the kernel without changing or reinstalling the world. If you simply want to try compiling the kernel several times over using different options, that's fine. If you run cvsup and it changes /usr/src, and you do not know that those changes are not significant enough to make a difference, *that's* when you need to rebuild world as well. -- -Chuck
