You are obiviously know what you are doing (since you are doing this AND running -CURRENT to boot). So you can easily make the partition you are using for this larger when you create it. Also since you have 8 different machines (presumable of differe types, or you'd use the same kernel on all of them), you have a little $$ that you could buy a cheap 4gig drive just for kernel building. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
