Sources are updated using cvsup.

make world builds the userland, i.e. all of the programs that are part
of the OS but not in the kernel.

make kernel builds the actual kernel.

World and kernel should be in sync or you will have strange problems and
some stuff won't work.

Read about this in the handbook.
