Compile it exactly the way you want, and build it as a package. Then you can nfs-mount the package dir, and even have a shell script run "pkg_add" on your new machines. All the advantages of packages, and none of the disadvantages. ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons Absolute BSD: http://www.nostarch.com/abs_bsd.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
