This question comes up occasionally.  `installmost' is a kludge that
should go away now that we have `install -C'.  What you want to do is
NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj on each subject machine (and with the
same mount points), and then simply do a `make install'.
Alternatively (although I recommend against this) you can NFS-mount
the other machine on the master and do a `make install
DESTDIR=/path/to/other/machine'.  Or, you can set up a sup server and
the appropriate collections, and use that.  Or, you can use rdist.
