Hi! I'm am in a need for spreading a good FreeBSD virus (the os..) to 10 486 stations. I wonder what could be the better way. I will buy the CD soon, be assured, but for now, the only options I have are ethernet cards, and floppy drives... No CD's yet for these oldies. I could probably connect them to my PC. But could I do a fresh install, just with what's in my /usr/src and /usr/obj??? Or do I need the source code in the bin.?? and the like? Could I recreate a bin.aa, bin.ab, ..., bin.?? distribution from my current source tree? I know I can use NFS to make multiple upgrades after a make buildworld. Could this feature be exploited to do not only a upgrade, but a full install??? Thanks a lot.
