I have just setup a new freebsd 8 machine on a p4, and decided this time around to use jails. After reading the handbook and some other threads, I have successfully built a jail for what I want to do. But, because I kept forgetting to do some foundation work on the original build, I keep running build worlds. And on a p4, this takes a long time.zzzzzzzzzz
Ok, my foundation work that I forgot.
1). Removed drivers I didn't need, recompiled the kernal for that. Then reran a build world and rebuilt my jail
2). Never built the perl port prior to buildworld, and jail template build. Deleted the jail, built the port, ran the buildworld, then rebuilt my jail.
3). Forgot about Linux binaries, see point 2 for what I did.
Ok, my question is. Did I have to do another buildworld and rebuild my jail because I forgot perl, kernal rebuild, and linux binaries???
I know, dumb question.
Unrelated question. I built the perl port 5.8, should I have built 5.10?
