You're probably looking at an overnight event for the buildworld. Make sure you buildkernel as well. Alternatively, you *could* buildworld/kernel on a second box, NFS mount the /usr/src and /usr/obj directories and installworld/kernel from there. We have ~30 similar FreeBSD systems and one build box. Kinda helps us stay consistent, etc. HTH Eric Crist
