How do I get a > fresh make world. Is that a port? "A fresh make world" means a complete recompiled FreeBSD system from the latest sources. You can recompile FreeBSD if you have the sources installed (in /usr/src). The fact we call it a "make world", is simply because if you run "make world" from within /usr/src, then all sources will be recompiled and installed (except kernel!). For details, see: o http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html o http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html o http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html Again, a "make world" does not make and install a kernel. See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html for a description of how to make your own kernel.
