I have this same situation, but I do 'make world' on _one_ machine, then run 'make reinstall' on all others with /usr/src and /usr/obj NFS-mounted from the build machine.

The ability to keep up to date on all boxes while keeping disk requirements as low as possible. --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
