We've got five or six machines % all running freebsd-stable's of one variety or other. One of % them now tracks the -stable tree, but I want to be able to % update the others without them theirselves having to also have % a copy of the source tree on them. I guess a sort of remote % make install would work. NFS mount /usr/src from the tracking machine after you've done 'make world', and then do 'make install' on each of the 'client' machines. It might work. ;^) % Clues recieved on a postcard will be placed into hat and % drawn next week for a free pint of beer. :) Clues recived by e-mail to be placed into a file and selected by picking the top line after emacs m-x randomize-buffer-lines??? -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
