IIRC this is covered in the handbook somewhere. A solution is to mount the /usr/src tree on your PIII from the p100 using NFS and then after building the world on the pIII, install the world on the p100. This is v oversimplified and I haven't done it for a long time, so check the handbook for more. I'll try and find it now... Ok that wasn't too painful, it's in chapter 21/cutting edge: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html GL -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/
