Hi ! I need some feedback from you. I want to run -current and -stable on one system. I have three 2.1 GB disks available for that purpose. Does /var have some system specific bits and bytes or could I use one /var filesys for both -current and -stable ? Same question for /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 ... If I compile /usr/X11R6 under -stable, does it run on -current ? Other way around ... if I would compile X11R6 under -current, could I use X11 under -STABLE ? I'd like to build a -current SNAP, the build is currently running ;-) After that I want to install the system using the -current SNAP, when that is done, I'll bring -STABLE onto disk 1...
