One other reason, also involves NFS, when your build server is 1Ghz and your target machine is 200Mhz. Besides builds go faster on local disks. I usually spend all day building world, and the kernels for each machine. Then, during the maintenance window, I only have to do installs. This lets me get a few more machines upgraded in the same window. Now if only I can get these, inherited, 2.2.7-CURRENT boxes up to 4.x I'll be happy. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org http://www.lambertfam.org/~lambert/resume.html 3 years Sr. SysAdmin experience with FreeBSD in small & medium size ISPs.
