Hi, Is it possible to do a ''make buildworld buildkernel'' of the FreeBSD 6.x series sources on a FreeBSD 7.x machine and then install them onto a FreeBSD 6.x machine? I ask coz currently I have 3 FreeBSD 6.2 machines and I build the world and kernel on one of them and install on the others (while updating etc). When FreeBSD 7 releases I plan to move one of the machines to that (and this is the machine on which I build stuff currently) so I was wondering if its possible to continue with things the way they are now ... I understand I'll have to build separate port packages for 7.x and 6.x but I maybe there's some workaround for the base system ...? Thanks, Rakhesh --- http://rakhesh.net/
