Hi Mike,

thanks for your help. Just to understand you the right way:

Assume my master machine's name is 'alpha', my slave is called 'omega'
and at this moment, no file called '/etc/make.conf' exists neither on
master nor on slave. I will generate such a file on both machines with
just the following content:

on 'alpha':
KERNCONF=ALPHA OMEGA

on 'omega':
KERNCONF=OMEGA

Where ALPHA is the kernel file of the master and omega is the kernel
file of the slave, both stored on the master in
'/usr/src/sys/i386/conf'.

And then I have to start 'make buildkernel' in the '/usr/src' directory
of the master and both kernels will be build on the master.

After that I start a 'make installkernel' on both machines separatly.

Sorry for these possible primitive questions but I'm a greenhorn in this
area.

Thanks,
Thomas
