I share mine via NFS. Unless you're in the habit of installing software on your laptop when you're on the road, it should work for you as well. Basically, I just set DISTDIR=3D/shared/distfiles in /etc/make.conf on each machine, where /shared is on the machine I do most of the builds on, and exported r/w to the other machines on the net. I also export /usr/ports r/o so they all use the same ports tree. You still won't be able to build on one machine while the other is downloading, as the checksum test will fail when you try and use the partial file. On the other hand, it won't disturb the download process. =09=09=09=09http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more inform= ation.
