* Getting back to current was flawless. Makefile buildworld, ven from a 2.2 * base, simply worked right, first time. * * Thanks for the work, Satoshi, you sure made things easy! Well, sorry to burst a bubble but I don't think going to -current from 2.2 on *one* machine was hard even without my modification. ;) (Of course, if someone is going to 2.2 or -current from 2.1.x, that's a different question.) Anyway, the main point of my change was to be able to build world on a machine and install it on another. That is because "buildworld" doesn't install outside the host system's /usr/obj. Now, with people's help, -current no longer requires the source tree to be in /usr/src so you can even build -current and 2.2 worlds on the same fileserver (just have "/usr/src" pointing to the 2.2 source tree). Do "make installworld" on the NFS clients and you'll be all set (I do this all the time). Satoshihome | help
