(Actually I would suggest having the sources on the build machine (which presumably has more disk space and gets faster disk access to the source that way) and then export those directories to the installmachine. Just make sure that /etc/make.conf are the same on both machines. Otherwise you might end up trying to install some files that weren't included in the buildworld. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
