1) It is _very_ important to keep the kernel and userland in
sync.

As a ball-park estimate, figure 1Gb when you need to update.
Assuming you have a high-speed connection, I would rebuild
world and kernel per the handbook. After installing and testing the
new system I would save the kernel config file elsewhere and delete
/usr/src and /usr/obj. THe next time you need to rebuild you'll
need to clear the disk and download the entire source tree, but
you'll have the disk available until then.
Basically I had just installed 6.0-RELEASE from the CD, got the kernel sources
from an ftp server (using sysinstall) and then proceded to build the kernel
as I mentioned in another post (traditional method). Basically you're saying
I should grab the entire source tree and then build everything before the
kernel? Just checking before I go ahead...having said that as it's a clean
install there's nothing too vital on the system so won't matter to much if I
trash it.
