Is this possible on a running system? here goes my experience. I have a small server, which is short on disk space and I can't make a buildworld on it. So, the idea is to make installworld from network via nfs ;) Suppose, you have a build server. Make buildworld and kernel compile as always, then mount /usr/src and /usr/obj using nfs to upgradable server and from it do make installworld and install kernel. But, you have to use the same make.conf when building and installing. Paulius To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
