I have several machines networked using NFS mounts or SSH and scp. Only one machine has internet connectivity - a laptop (machine vbear) with a wireless card (I'm in a temporary location for a few weeks and only wireless is available here). I tried to mount the ports tree on this machine to the other machines (machine mfc for instance) with: #mfc> cd /usr #mfc> mount_nfs vbear:/usr/ports ports and then installing the needed port on mfc. What happens is that the working directories and the entire local ports tree gets written to /var, so that I get /var/ports/usr/ports/devel/xxgdb/work.... and so on. /var fills up very quickly and I soon get "disk full" errors. How can I avoid this? I believe the solution is to point the ports Makefile to a different (local) working directory but point fetch to grab distfiles from the (remote) laptop, but I'm not sure how to do this. regards, Peter Kryszkiewicz
