You can mount /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS, then delete the files from /usr/obj that were created as each phase of the aout-to-elf-install was completed: do_move_aout_libs do_aout_installworld do_aout_kernel do_elf_installworld do_set_objformat do_install_kernel_reboot Then do a `make aout-to-elf' and each install phase should be performed on the libretto without re-doing the build steps (which are the ones that take a long time). I haven't tried this, so YMMV. 8-) -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
