I have just updated my system from FreeBSD-1.1 to 2.0-950112-snap FreeBSD, but I
have on query with regards to rebuilding the kernel.

If I want to recompile the kernel, will I have to download the entire srcdist
(all 120M or whatever it is) or can the kernel src be downloaded separately.
The reason I ask this is I don't have enough diskspace for the entire srcdist, 
I have approx 50M available.

regards
scott
