Its not explicitly listed, but the section titled "To cross-install current onto a separate partition" can be abused to good effect. The other option is to mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from your build system onto the target and run the installworld from there. I suspect you're about to point out that certain dependencies may not have been built correctly if the target is much older than the source, so YMMV. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
