Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 11:23:17 -0700 Organization: SpotMedia Communications Lines: 16 Message-ID: <31F7BB95.7A5@gamespot.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: tech-a.gamespot.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (Win95; I) To: questions@freebsd.org After updating my source trees, I'm planning on running "make world" -- at least that's my understanding of what's next in the upgrade recipe. Is "make world" documented? Among the benefits I hope to derive from upgrding, it's really important to me that sysinstall be updated -- the version on the 2.1 CD aparently has a bug in it that has prevented me from adding a second SCSI drive to the system, I'm told that the 2.1.5 upgrade will remedy this problem. Anyway, I've not seen "make world" or other upgrade (compilation) steps laid out anywhere. /usr/local/bin is'nt messed with by "make world" is it? what about /home and config files in /etc? (I unsderstand already from http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/freebsd-faq83.html#83 that make world will make a nice new shiney set of system binaries, what about the rest of the system? will it be left alone or....?) If "make world" or "make install" (equivalents?" are documented somewhere, please send me the URL. Thanks!
