I've had enough installworlds that failed mid-install to be overly hesitant and thus sort of wish-listing for a make -DNVIDIA-ASSURES-BUILDING-AND-INSTALLWORLD-TEST-COMPLETED=yes for resilency. Not to mention a /usr/src/UPDATING method of cli fetching/wget/curl base.txz and then " gcp -R - / < unxz base.txz " [ do not quote any of these ] as a installworld-went-awry recovery-from-thumbdrive method... ................ tl;dr, ... wish list... newbie by infrequency of updates. ................ > > > # sh > > export CC=/usr/local/bin/clang39 # and the two others > > I don't think that's the correct variable(s) to set to use an > external compiler. > I've in a .sh or two... usually works.
