Nice stuff and close to what I do (I just share a development sys tree over NFS now). One thing I do in regards to kernels is this, /boot/kernel/kernel is a clean kernel, i.e. from a clean current source, not any of my development trees. Kernels in development trees use stuff like this: makeoptions KERNEL=smpng in their kernel config files so I have /boot/smpng/kernel, /boot/test/kernel, /boot/preempt/kernel, etc. for my development tree kernels. This avoids needing to keep a kernel.good around, as /boot/kernel/kernel is always ok. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
