Description Siebrand Mazeland 2006-01-08 17:10:05 UTC

Update the handbook section "Rebuilding 'world'" in the chapter
cutting-edge because it contains some confusing notes and old
references. Changes based on experience of updating from 6.0 RELEASE
to 6.0 STABLE using the current handbook.

More precise:
- updating procedure revised (made <procedure>, added links and tags
  where needed
- updated timings to something more generic and shorter runtime
- removed 4.X and earlier specific remarks
- removed section on updating /dev (automatic from 5.0 on)
- removed section on updating /stand (automatic from 5.2 on)
- removed almost 5-year-old remark about -j# being experimental
- tiny wording changes (take backup -> make backup, 2 -> two)
- removed use of 'modern' in 'make buildworld' before 'make buildkernel'

See:
- attached patch.
- preview build at: http://nitro.dk/~siebrand/PR/makeworld.html

How-To-Repeat: Check http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/makeworld.html
and follow the procedure.

Most of this was hand merged, test built, and committed. 
The only parts I skipped were the <step> tags which I would 
like to review in more detail later.

The remaining issues in this PR were resolved when I removed 
the 4.X from the handbook several months ago.  Thanks a lot 
Siebrand!
