That's what I have been nagging about in my last few posts =)
We need to 'develop'/establish a method of modular building under the
FreeBSD box we have at out disposal. I am going to need to switch to my
FreeBSD partition for all my work instead of this NT partition. Hard to
switch from one system to another completely ;)
I shall try to put something on paper tomorrow about how to achieve the
goal in my eyes and will then mail it to the group.
