Is this what it sounds like, a > dedicated system for doing compiles and such. No, it's just a system on which I plan on doing compiles and such. Usually it's a workstation, so that the extra load of a buildworld doesn't disrupt a server. My typical system update is: # On the fastest system with sufficient free cycles. # make buildworld # make kernel # on the test system, nfs mounting from build system. # make installkernel # shutdown -r now # Reboot and turn on networking # shutdown now # to get to single user mode # make installworld # reboot # and then do some testing. After I'm happy with that build on the test system, I'll move it to any production systems, in the same order: kernel to make sure it'll boot, then the world. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
