I'm looking to do a 'buildworld' on the old PC, but I expect that this will take a very long time as it is only a Pentium 166 (rememeber them?!). I'm intending on using the main PC to do this buildworld after transferring the old disk into the new pc. As I have the sources on the main PC's disk, I would like to use these rather than copy them to the old disk and boot the new PC from the old disk, which will be a bit of a headache as the machines are very different (but both i386 architecture). I was wondering if there was something that one could pass to the make buildworld command to set up a different target to build the world to? If I had mounted the old disk under /mnt, maybe something like 'make -j4 target=/mnt/ buildworld'??? Any pointers much appreciated ... Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
