Description brooks 2001-03-16 06:40:01 UTC 
In the section titled "Synchronizing Your Source" the handbook says:

	There are various ways of using an Internet (or email)
	connection to stay up-to-date with any given area of the
	FreeBSD project sources, or all areas, depending on what
	interests you.

At least one user and misinterpreted this to mean that you could, for
example, update your kernel but not your userland.  This is untrue.

Fix: The following patch warns users not do try this and also warns them not
to update their kernel without updating their world.
