And they will be re-build if something need them. On my box /usr/ports and /usr/src are symlinks to amd mounted NFS volumes on my desk top. When I'm on the road these are unavailable but that is not usually a problem. My next step is to figure out how to do this all with CODA. chris __ Chris Fedde <cfedde@sendmail.com> 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
