I was pretty sure that this would be the case but as I'm not familiar with the build process under the hood, I wasn't sure if the makefiles tweaked themselves implicitly depending on the build platform. I'm glad this isn't the case, that would be quite a pickle. > ssh works great for a lot of applications that need to send products to= =20 > foreign lands ... it's the "scp" command, in particular, I mean. ssh was the first thing that sprang to mind but it also raised some further questions, like what exactly to copy. /usr/obj would obviously have to go over but what about all the makefiles required for a 'make installworld' etc? I wondered if I would end up just copying over /usr/src entirely, which seems very innefficient. Hmm, it's certainly something to think about.
