OK, thanks. You've saved me the work of trying then failing terribly :D It doesn't have to be hosted. The reason for me asking is, basically can I take the image and (as an image, not as an OS) can it be updated/recompiled on different, higher spec hardware, then returned to the Pi? Hopefully I'm describing this right. You know on say amd64, an arm6 system can be cross-compiled as an installable system. That system is running. I have updated it (while installed on RPI2 hardware) and installed my configs, it works great. Now I can unplug the microSD, dd it to a .img file, on another system, to archive it. What I'm asking is, can I take that image while it's on the other system, and interact with it to the extent that I can update/upgrade it? *the other system is also freebsd11, but amd64* thanks, -- John
