Hi,

Hello :-)


Is it safe to simply edit the kernel file and `cd /usr/src/ && make
buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL && make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL`

You do not need to rebuild the entire world. Just rebuilding the kernel
would solve your purpose.

or would I have to rebuild world as well?  I thought I read somewhere
that it was bad to just recompile the kernel without recompiling world
as well.

Thanks.

You are most welcome

Regards
S.
