If you had the same (2.2 or 3.0) system on both machines I guess it would be much easier. I upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.2.8 on my second machine, which is a 486 with a 210 Mb HDD, by NFS mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj and then running make installworld, as described in: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html It worked perfect (which surprised me... :-). So, why can't you install a minimal 3.0 system on your 486 and do the same trick as I did ? (I assume you have 3.0 on you main machine) /Tobbe , tnt@home.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
