In looking through /usr/src/Makefile and=20 /usr/src/Makefile.inc1, DESTDIR is used in this manner. As near as I can=20 tell (granted my Makefile skills aren't that great) I don't see anywhere in= =20 the installworld target that makes use of DESTDIR (making it irrelevant=20 whether it is set or not for installworld). Also according to Makefile.inc= 1,=20 you run installworld (more accurately 'reinstall') on the NFS *client*,=20 becuase installworld always wants to install from / (again, I could be=20 missing something, if so, please tell me, I want to know; I know I'm not=20 delving very deep into the various subdirectory make files) In any case, the original error may NOT be worthy of a PR, since the origin= al=20 post admits that DESTDIR doesn't exist, being an NFS mount, at the time of= =20 buildworld. (If the directory exists, and failed, that *would* be worthy o= f=20 a PR.) mike =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/aWXFY30jZzkECLcRAhirAKCHpUB40O13hJiECzXGyeHfT+pyqwCgni+S CR2iw80zQVazfKAcb3OSprM=3D =3DIWBx =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
