    I kmow this is not the proper venue, but why do you have a site like yours
    that not only seems to be running FreeBSD, but has Free, Net and GNUDarwin
    listed as a Linux Distro?

    This bothers me - Seeing FreeBSD misrepresented in such a mannor - that goes
    for linuxiso.org too.

    #You should *really* use 'make buildkernel' in the toplevel if you're
    #combining it with a world update. Recommended procedure:
    #~# cvsup /my/5.1.supfile
    #~# cd /usr/src
    #/usr/src# make buildworld
    #/usr/src# make buildkernel KERNCONF=<yourKERNELname>
    #/usr/src# make installkernel KERNCONF=<yourKERNELname>
    #/usr/src# reboot
    #OK boot -s
    ## fsck -p && mount -a
    ## ( cd /usr/src && make installworld )
    ## reboot
    #OK boot
    #
    #Also read chapter 21 of the Handbook.
