-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use a similar setting with FreeBSD 5 boxes. There is a slight change needed in the Makefile.inc1 for the install world to work. I have submitted a patch a few months ago and filled a bug report for it. #57539 What I do is, I have a devel box that tests everything, it downloads the source code, I compile the code and test it on there for a few days before transmitting it to any of the production servers.
