Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Am I still safe to do the equivalent of a 'remote' install world? - I have 2 x 3.0 boxes, one which is fresh 3.0-RELEASE, the other which is 3.0-CURRENT... If I take the /usr/src & /usr/obj directories from sucsessful 'buildworld' on the -current machine can I run an 'installworld' on the -release machine? Or is it highly likely to stuff up because of all the recent elven changes etc? - Unfortunately the -release box isn't meaty enough to build the world... I gave up after around 16 hours a time and a few failures (which have been posted here, and subsequently fixed) - I'd kinda not like to have to wait another 16 hours to find any more problems ;-) - especially when the faster box can munch through it in around an hour flat... :) Regards, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
