Make buildkernel KERNCONF=CONFIG
Make installkernel KERNCONF=CONFIG


This is enough for only compiling kernel and not world and this is the 
Smartest way according to FreeBSD handbook.

I was not aware that you wern't supposed to use config anymore - and I
am not convinced that the suggested alternative is actually a replacement
as I thought that buildkernel required you to have built the world first ?
Is this no longer true ? If it *is* true thhen what is the alternative to
using 'config' which should be used if you are on a system where you do
not have the time or the disc space to rebuild the world and simply want
to recompile the kernel ?
