I'd assume (danger!) that it would be to roll in any changes to the kernel code, driver code, and static libs that get linked in. Back to /usr/src, is there a way to only d/l, build, and install the packages I have installed? It seems like if I d/l the entire /usr/src tree that make world will build and install all of it. Is this true, or is it smart enough to only build what's already installed? Yes, I could only d/l what I have installed, but there must be some kind of automatic way to do this, no? -- -Zenin zenin@best.com
